Brave/Crazy French helicopter pilots planning around-the-world flight

“Two pilots to fly around the globe in Cabri G2” (Vertical) is about a two-seat trainer helicopter that seldom gets farther than 5 nm from its home airport and two French guys who will take it all the way around the world.

(The Robinson R22, despite its challenging low-inertia rotor system and not being designed for training, is a more popular trainer due to its low cost and high reliability. The Cabri costs about the same as a four-seat Robinson R44.)

  1. That takes quite a network of airlines to carry all their fuel, luggage, life rafts, spare parts, mechanics. Only once the fleet arrives, can the 2 seater take its next 200 mile step. Wonder if someone tried to fly a paper airplane around the world.
