Brian Goranson flew his Cessna 172 C-GECQ from Weyburn, Saskatchewan to Ljungby, Sweden and back in the summer of 2008.  He started July 30th and was back home by August 24th. He did the trip by himself, spurred on by a desire to meet his Swedish relatives, and fulfill a dream of having a challenging flying adventure.

His trip took him across southern Baffin Island, with stops in Cape Dorset and Qikiqtarjuaq to wait out bad weather.  The addition of long-range ferry tanks enable him to skip a stop in Iqaluit.
