A different Christmas Island, part of the Line Islands, north east of Australia. It is the first inhabited land with an airport south of Hawaii, just north of the equator. It is also called Kiritimati.
To comment on N-reg in Europe, there are more and more going on the N-reg, but the Europeans are trying to make that more difficult. On the G-reg (UK), even a minor change to anything costs about $5 k in fees and inspections as they seem to want to treat everything as major mod. All UK registered aircraft have to comply with the SID's and they treat a Service Bulletins like an AD and make many mandatory. No such thing as Part 91 and owner's discretion over here unless you are on the N-register. Dave

Is there any island between the west coast and Hawaii?
337B, for those "N" registered planes in the UK, would they be able to skip the SIDs then (assuming still Part 91 N registration)?

No, just lots of water and about 2100 nm between the west coast and Hilo.
The N-reg in the UK follow the USA rules so if they are part 91, nothing is really mandatory. Dave

By memory, and as an additional thought, all the O-2's that went to S.E. Asia were flown over via Hawaii.

I recommend Southern Cross Aviation in Ft. Lauderdale if you want someone to ferry it. He has done hundreds of ferrys. If you want it done right, get a professional. Remember, adventure is the result of poor planning.

A small point of order. The O-2's did fly across to Nam...via Hawaii. However, that was 40+ years ago when the airplanes were new. Also, it is my understanding a C-130 led the way across the ocean for them seeking out good weather and winds, as well as a search and rescue platform. They landed at military facilities across the island chain such as Midway, Wake, Guam, Clark AFB PI, etc...infrastructure that I don't believe is still there with 100LL just waiting for the modern day adventurer to land in a Cessna. Call me silly, but my money is on shipping it.
