To celebrate 100 years of aviation in Switzerland they embarked on an around-the-world odyssey in two Flight Design CTLS Light Sport Aircraft. I plan to follow their flight on their website: http://www.azimut270.ch/en/

I wish them “Bon Voyage” and the best of luck.

The Ercoupe Owners Forum on Yahoo Groups had this one posted and I thought I would share the link. It is a nice production – watch it in full-screen HiDef if you can.

I certainly hope they leave it in place…
