About This Item

Sean, the Jet Fighter


I want to travel to The Sphinx near Cairo, Egypt in honor of my namesake's grandfather who once stood in its ear.

I want to travel to Tiananmen Square in Beijing, China in honor of those who yearned to be as free as I am.

Please take lots of pictures with me in exotic locations along the way!

SECOND GOAL COMPLETED JULY 25, 2004! I want to travel to the Sydney Opera House in Australia so I can view it by air. Please take lots of pictures with me in exotic locations along the way!

FIRST GOAL COMPLETED JUNE 15, 2003! As a first step, I'd really like to make it to Galway, Ireland by May 2003. The person who first saw me off on my journeys will be there next summer and I'd love for him to be able to find me again!

Remember, I like to fly free as a bird, so please don't hold me too long between caches! Thanks!

I'll launch the bug off on it's next goal soon, but wanted to record a [b]some[/b] activity while it's still here in California. It is supposed to be a fast moving bug after all!

Checked [i]Sean[/i] in at ''The Charleston Shuffle'' to log it's return from Ireland. I'll have to come up with a good place to drop it for it's next goal.

Retrieve It from a Cache 6/15/2003 Equinox017 retrieved it from Alcock & Brown Travel Bug Hotel Ireland   Visit Log

In 1919 Captain John Alcock and Lieutenant Arthur Whitten Brown made the first non-stop aerial crossing of the Atlantic. (Lindburgh flew solo, but A&B were first.) They covered 1,980 miles in 16 hours and 12 minutes before landing near Clifden, Ireland on June 15.

And exactly 84 years later, after traveling nearly 23,000 miles and crossing the Atlantic twice Sean, the Jet Fighter, was collected from a cache overlooking the Alcock and Brown landing site.

First goal complete! 😁

On to the world!!

  • Reunited Sean, the Jet Fighter, and his namesake meet again on a windswept hill in Ireland.
