## Abstract We prove that every oriented planar graph admits a homomorphism to the Paley tournament __P__~271~ and hence that every oriented planar graph has an antisymmetric flow number and a strong oriented chromatic number of at most 271.

This paper generalizes a theorem of Thomassen on paths in planar graphs. As a corollary, it is shown that every 4-connected planar graph has a Hamilton path between any two specified vertices x, y and containing any specified edge other than xy.
