AOPA Turbine Pilot Magazine - April 2021 - 63

THE TWO FRIENDS
plan to coordinate the
transatlantic portion of
their ﬂights-but they'll
go their separate ways
after Iceland. Eichhorn
plans to turn north to
overﬂy the North Pole
and then return to the
United States. Maeda
will continue eastbound across Europe,
the Middle East, Asia,
and the Paciﬁc. Longdistance ﬂying is a
largely solitary pursuit,
but these two friends
say they're looking forward to making part of
the trip together.

unusually strenuous sortie because of heat,
blustery winds, and stormy weather.
Afterward, Maeda made a short night
ﬂight back to Virginia, then pointed his airplane home to Seattle the next day. With
about 30 hours of ﬂying in three days, it was
only a warmup for the aviation marathon
he's planning.
Maeda had originally scheduled his
global circumnavigation for the summer
of 2020 but was forced to postpone when
the COVID-19 pandemic stopped most
international ﬂying. True to form, Maeda
has come to view the delay as a blessing
in disguise. " It gives me more time to test
the airplane and make sure everything is
ready, " he said. " We were pressing hard to
meet our original schedule, so this takes
away all the time pressure. "
It also means Maeda will have some
company on the ﬁrst part of the journey
when it gets underway in 2021.
Eichhorn is planning another longdistance flight of his own-a flight of
several Bonanzas over the North Pole.
Now, Maeda, Eichhorn, and others intend
to ﬂy as a group from the U.S. East Coast
to Canada and Iceland at the beginning of
their respective trips.

" This isn't about me....It's
about following your dreams.
People face difficulties-
small, medium, and large-
everywhere in the world.
My life is just one example
of that. " -Shinji Maeda
From Iceland, Maeda will continue
east to Europe, Asia, then across the North
Paciﬁc to Alaska and home. Eichhorn and
his fellow pilots plan to fly from Iceland
to Norway, then continue over the pole to
Canada and back to the United States.
" It's going to be great to start out
together on these two great journeys, "
Eichhorn said. " Shinji's a friend, and I
intend to help him in every way I possibly
can. That's what friends do. "
