Let’s help Juan!

His name is Juan Goyechea and he was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Now Juan is living in San Juan Puerto Rico where he started his passion for fly five years ago.

I took private pilot lessons but they were too expensive so a few years later I changed to sport pilot that are much more cheaper (lessons and aircraft).

Juan’s lifetime dream was to fly as much as he can over land and sea. At the moment Juan needs you guys, to help.  The frearless pilot is looking for sponsors to help raising funds for the dream trip on ultralight aircraft. This long trip will start in Canada (North America) go forward to Argentina (South America) and crossing all the American continent. Check the map to see exactly where is he going.

Well, my trip is about flying across all America starting in Surrey a town of British Columbia, Canada and finishing at Buenos Aires, Argentina. The journey it’s going to be about 30 days, flying 8,178 miles over 15 countries with 84 stops (sleep, eat, gasoline, etc). The countries that I am going to visit are: Canada, USA, Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panamá, Colombia, Ecuador, Perú, Brazil, Bolivia and Argentina. The aircraft that I am going to use is a Rans S-12 with a 582 Rotax with two 10 gallon tanks. The journey doesn’t have any purpose just the joy of travel on an ultralight aircraft along all America.

But for many of us this might be a new ultralight record. Donate as much as you can and visit Juan websites, in English and in Spanish for more details. Note that we will be back to you guys with infos about his trip and footage from his journey above America.
