Diamond DA42 diesel is on its way from Sweden to Oshkosh
Message received from Martin Hakensson, of World Flight for Hearing in Sweden: "Just to let you know that we are currently doing the first flight around the world in a diesel engine aircraft (using a Diamond DA42 Twinstar). We are currently in The Bahamas, heading for Oshkosh." They should be there by now. I answered him asking for his airspeed and fuel flow, which is my key question to anyone flying a diesel for a long leg.
