So I was on Fox last night...

Fox news was there while I was photographing 2 pilots hoping to fly around the world in their stock helicopter to break a speed record:

"The Grand Adventure is about breaking a record. Pilot Scott Kasprowicz and co-pilot Steve Sheik will fly 20,000 nautical miles, crossing every meridian on the globe, in an effort to break the current record for circumnavigating the globe in a helicopter. What's more, the helicopter is a factory-stock Agusta Grand with no mission-specific special equipment on-board.

The current record was set in 1996 when Ron Bower and co-pilot John Williams flew a Bell 430 around the world in 17 days, 6 hours, 14 minutes and 25 seconds. The team traveled 20,508 nm with 165.1 total flight hours.

For Kasprowicz and Sheik, The Adventure is not just about setting a record, but about doing it without the aid of specialized equipment, chase planes, or other extraordinary assistance—it's about pushing themselves and the aircraft to the limit."

You can check out their website for more information and even track their journey!:
