MackSolo Team Update โ Day 99 โ๏ธ ๐
For those who lost the plot ๐
๐: Mack is still in #Dubai and he had to change his route for the second time now. His next legs should be #Pakistan, #India, #Nepal, #Bangladesh, #Thailand, #Vietnam, #Taiwan, #SouthKorea, then northerly via Japan. The #route included China at first, but assuming there is a very high chance a flight permit will not come through either (based on earlier experience), we have also dropped this country from the route now.
Complex endeavours like these require sorting one issue at a time: visa, permits, health rules & regulations, weather, the pilot's health, the airplane's condition... Every aspect is critical. At the falling of just one of those dominos, everything can change at the drop of a hat. On top of that, and unfortunately, the world ๐ has become a very different place compared to a year ago ๐ ๐ when Zara was doing her around-the-world flight.
Change of route = Change of flags ๐. These are Sharky's new #flags. Mack's had this a few times now: ordering and ditching those #stickers. But, believe it or not, he is packing his bags ๐งณ right now, because... If all goes according to plan, Mack is taking off for Pakistan tomorrow morning! Insh'Allah! Wohoooo! ๐ช๐ซ
We are not out of the woods yet though ๐คจ, many more hurdles to jump, but let's take it one step at the time! Fingers crossed everyone! ๐ค
