Hi ,
...several years ago I had proposed a round the world group trip...there were several interested...prelim planning showed about 100 hours to get it done with side trips...we were going to break it down into at least two segments..the first was to Europe with a time provision for side trips there and possibility an airline trip back to the office for a few work days..then a gathering of MU2 around Greece / Turkey thru Saudi, Pakistan, India, Indonesia, Australia...then up thru China, Korea, Russia...
...everyone was going to meet in Goose Bay area with a fresh 100 hour for a two day differences training for airspace regulations, metric conversions, safety check, etc which the insurance companies really liked...because of lack of quick turns, customs clearance delays and slot time requirements a FULL day would only provide for two legs a day at the optimum...because of lack of suitable alternates for many legs the conservative leg lengths for the older long bodies would be about 600 to 700 NM considering water etc
...we were avoiding Japan for expense reasons and Russia for lack of English controllers...each aircraft was going to be assigned to carry a spare part or two...we were going to hire one expert Mu2 mechanic to come with the group starting on the second leg out of Europe...Mits was going to provide news coverage..
...you cannot ferry tank fuel without going into experimental and restricting all passengers...
...today there are more hurdles...the European insurance requirements are now very high and expensive...the mid east is in revolution...Americans have a harder time in some of these countries...
..good luck...
