Re: Anybody ever fly a 120 to France and back?
I've flown my '46 C-140 to France a lot 
but that was when it was still in Germany. 
Long ago I've fantasized about flying the opposite direction (Europe to the US) but after having ferried a couple of airplanes across the Atlantic in either direction and having seen how much icy water you have to cross I think one must be pretty insane to do it in reality. On one of these flights I've met a guy who had flown a C-172 all the way non stop from Canada to Scotland. You could pay me a lot of money - no way.
A friend has flown his C-170 from the US to Switzerland
but I wouldn't do it in anything with less than two engines.

A friend flew his Helio Courrier from Montreal to Iceland going trough Groenland and recently flew his Pilatus Porter PC-6 from Europe back to Montreal.
But I agree that is a lot of water under our C140 limited 4hrs of autonomy.
