Brrrr...one can already feel the winter in New York. An odd flock of Storks plan their annual journey to the warm and happy country of Brazil. Join the five leaders of the flock and help them find the best path to this year's summer vacation. Calculate distance, navigate by the stars and the sun, use your internal compass and even try to find good thermal streams in order to fly higher.
Bon Voyage!
