Victory Lap Part 1

Wellington to Sao Paulo

Around the world in as few hops as I can in a 747-400. Part 1 is Wellington, New Zealand, to Sao Paulo, Brazil, a trip of 6295NM, in about 12 hours. Well within the range of a 747.

Radios: Wellington clearance, ground, tower, departure, New Zealand Center, Isla De Pascua Center, Punta Arenas Center, Comodoro Rivadavia Center, Ezeiza Center, Montevideo Center, Curitiba Center, Montivideo Center, Curitiba Center, Sao Paulo Approach, Guarulhos Tower, & ground.

Came in a little shallow, and overcorrected, floating a ways down the runway, Luckily, Guarulhos has a long runway, so I could roll out with no problem.
