Record attempt: Round the world flight in gyro
Posted: Sat May 01, 2010 1:31 pm
Found this article in a British flying magazine. Irishman Norman Surplus is flying his MT-03 Gyro in what is to be a record breaking attempt around the world. A major part of the record attempt is for Cancer awareness. Apparently a gyro is the one type of flying machine that has never ever completed a round the world trip before in flying history.
He left Ireland on March 23 2010, and plans on taking 4 months to complete the 43 000 km journey. He is presently in Thailand. Goto: http://www.gyroxgoesglobal.com/
Good luck Norman.
And I thought flying from Joburg to the Cape was far in a gyro...
