North Atlantic Challenge – From Florida to Denmark

North Atlantic ChallengeTwo pilots from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University are flying a new Piper Seneca V from Florida to Denmark.  Along the way, they will be promoting aviation to the general public.  Crossing the North Atlantic is an airplane is done many times daily by large jets, but smaller piston powered aircraft face more challenges that makes this harder than a typical cross country flight.  The pair have been trying to get the trip sponsored for 3 years but it has been difficult due to insurance liability.
