Interesting idea, Sam. I've been following your blog for almost 3 years; it's interesting to see the progression of someone's career in map form. They've just got you everywhere on those Jungle-buses, eh?
SEQU - Flight connections to South America aren't quite as convenient as Europe and Asia for us, meaning it's tough to shoehorn in quick trips...but we've been wanting to get down there for a long time and probably will soon. Peru, Argentina, and Chile particularly interest us.
Rick-- When I still had the passport with the Egyptian visa, it earned me extra scrutiny from security ppl in AMS...particularly since the entry and exit stamps were one day apart!
Stew-- There's probably an app out there that will do it automatically, I dunno, didn't look for one. I was bored one afternoon and just started drawing lines on google maps.
I'm a pilot for a small regional airline based in the Midwest. I've been flying since 1994; my career has included stints as a flight instructor, "freight dog," and a First Officer on Q400 turboprops in the Pacific Northwest. I was hired at my current company in 2007, and am now a Captain on the airplane I lovingly refer to as "JungleBus."
This blog is mostly about what it's like to be a young pilot working his way up through the aviation hierarchy, but I also throw in stuff about other interests like travel, motorcycles, and flying small airplanes. I enjoy reading comments and answering questions from fellow aviators and non-pilots alike!

Hi Sam,
I see you´ve never been to South America...
Lot´s to see, relatively inexpensive and also, not that far away.
You guys should try it sometime!
Saludos,
SEQU
No holds?

TSA know about Cairo Sam? :-)
Sam,
How did you do the google maps "places I have flown"
I would like to do the same.
Thanks,
Stew

This is a good common sense article. Very helpful to one who is just finding the resources about this part. It will certainly help educate me.
