I thought bopping around dirt strips in Idaho was pretty adventurous, this guy took it to a whole nother level...

Awesome, that guy is my hero! I would love to do something like that.

Way cool. That trip, not quite that route, but that trip, is way high on my bucket list. Just a few more years and it will get a hard look.

Nice how the 2009 column lists Alaska among the countries, instead of the states.

Gump, did you read the article. He clearly states that he has never married.

This is cool too, met a guy here on the field who flew a Stinson 108-3 on this route as part of a rally in 1990. Not a true round the world flight because the plane went from central America to England in a container and then he sold it in Australia and returned home on comair. Something like 140 hours of flying though over a couple of months and some good stories, including a bingo into some military base in some awful place - sounded like an amazing adventure.

And then there's these guys, awesome to see these folks getting out there and undertaking these adventures, inspiring stuff!
