AROUND AFRICA IN 60 DAYS
IN A ROSE-PAINTED PLANE

Carstensen and his co-pilot, flight captain Martin Grohganz, are looking forward to all the aviation challenges over the 28,000 km trip. They will need to observe sudden changes in weather and heavy thunderstorms over the Tropics and take into account the risk of sandstorms in the desert regions. The pilots are particularly in awe of the not exactly run-of-the-mill crossing of the Sahara between Timbuktu in Mali and the Algerian coast. Some 15 hours of flight time are planned for that stretch alone.
