Ha ha... that's awesome I have so many volunteers to sit as a safety, but sadly, the plane's owner and I will be sitting side by side... for hours... Here's the planned route:
Goose Bay - Narsarsuaq, Greenland (appr 680 NM)
Narsarsuaq - Keflavik, Iceland (appr 650 NM)
Keflavik - Bergen, Norway (appr 800 NM)
Bergen - Århus, Denmark (appr 330 NM)
It's a good thing he's Swedish because there are some pretty odd names of cities there I couldn't say.
I'm certainly not going into it with a cocky attitude at all. I haven't said yes to it at all, technically. But I will because seriously, how could I pass up that opportunity.
As for safety equipment, yes, absolutely. AOPA will be a great resource, I'm sure. The owner and I are both somewhat book-nerds, so I'm sure we'll have everything over analyzed, although, really, I don't think such a thing can be OVER analyzed.
Thanks for all of the posts and PM's, and not to mention the offers for sitter-inners.
