The countdown is on!

Ok, so we're now five days to launch and we have locked in most of the legs. Our route page has been updated with the current plan and we currently have about 60 pilots participating. In other fun facts:
- The route distance currently stands at 10,226 nm or 18,939 km without any of the local flights we have planned.
- We have already raised $6442 for Cancer Council purely by word of mouth with the relay yet to kick off.
- We're currently planned to visit 56 airports around Australia, from ALAs to capital city airports.
- Aircraft types (that we currently know of) being flown in the relay include a balloon, a possible skydive, a possible glider flight, C152s, C172s, C182s, PA28s, a floatplane, helicopters (both civil and military), Dash 8, PC9, F100 and B737-800s.

Get ready to pass the baton!
