Thanks very much Gardyloo and DownUnderFlyer. I honestly had no idea what a DC-3 was, and that it was a propeller plane. Oh well, back to the drawing board I guess. However, I would be curious if anyone could confirm that I'm correct that if I begin a Global Explorer in Europe and then head to Africa, that I can't then head west via LHR or otherwise. Thanks again. This board is very informative.

The odd thing is, it is also listed in the official oneworld timetable application.
