Austrian to circumnavigate world in small plane
The Asian Age
In a daredevil effort with a single-engine small aircraft, a 44-year-old Austrian recreational pilot has set off on a 48,000-km-long trip to circumnavigate the world. Helmuth Lehner, a father of three from Voecklabruck in northern Austria, left on May 11 from the Blue Danube Airport in Linz in an Aerospoolin WT-9 Dynamic plane. The plane was originally an ultralight aircraft, but has been modified with extra instruments and an extra fuel tank that allows up to 19 hours of flight time.More
