Valery Chkalov, Georgy Baidukov and Aleksandr Belyakov flew 9130 km (5670 miles) from Moscow across the North Pole to Vancouver, Washington, near Portland, Oregon. The ANT-25 was named Stalinsky Marshrut (Stalin's Route), referring to an earlier, 9374-km flight from Moscow to the Russian Far East by the same plane and crew. Sister ship URSS-N025-1 flew 11,500 km from Moscow to California in favourable weather in July 1937.
