looks frosty! Sounds like a great trip. You are correct when it comes to GA in the U.S. -- European leaders do not want GA (except for themselves in a G650 or Global Express.....;)    I am heading to Socata NA in Pembroke Pines in a few hours....

 I just see the exhaust amount is enormous compared to mine and I did not
 clean mine for a year.  And mine wasn't that bad nor was it close to the
 pipe like Adam's.  My exhaust starting sticking about 2-3 feet back from
 the exhaust exit.  Regardless if the cause is fuel or not, the placement
 and direction of the exit nozzle probably should be changed to point away
 from the fuselage to prevent a repeat.

For my trip, it was spectacular, mostly VFR the entire route Dallas,
 Vermont, Goose Bay, Narsarsuaq, Reykjavik, Edinburgh, Shoreham, Paris,
 Bologna, Prague.  We are so lucky with the comparatively low costs of
 flying in North America.  To arrange a handler and seek permission for each
 flight, each diversion, each fueling--makes you feel very out-of-control.
 VFR is difficult in many areas or impossible.  As expected, there were few
 GA ships where we traveled.  Attached is a shot in Iceland the morning we
 were ready to depart.  I will do the return in July.  I was able to avoid
 Jeppesen and those fees this time.
