India here Norman comes!

Norman plans to fly to the Republic of India today the world's largest democracy - staggering 1.2 billion people. This leg of his journey could present the greatest challenge as the last attempt to fly an autogyro around the world faltered here. Expedition Global Eagle (logo below) took place in 2004 and was abandoned in the far east of India because of the monsoon generated difficult weather.

Norman's journey through India will be a total of over 1,450 miles / 2,300 kilometers - a challenge in anyones book. He will be traveling in an easterly direction from the cities of Ahmadabaad in the west to Kolkata in the east.  Below are the places Norman plans stops: 

• Ahmadabaad VAAH - 18 Apri
  
• Devi Ahilyabai Holkar Airport VAID - 19 April
• Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar Int. Nagpur  VANP - 19 April
• Raipur Airport VARP - 20 April
• Jamshedpur Airport VEJS - 21 April
• Kolkata Airport VECC - 21 April

Obviously this is subject to weather conditions, flight permissions and a myriad of other things. Because of the very hot weather Norman is now departing very early in the morning local time.
