Flying to the South Pole and then to the North Pole in a small plane is extremely dangerous.
Robert DeLaurentis, who is known as the Zen Pilot, is on the brink of pulling this off.
I caught up with him when he was grounded in Spain during the Coronapocolypse.
By the time this airs, he should be in Sweden.
He plans to fly over 3 key places around the North Pole in July 2020.
Track his journey on his website.
Questions I asked the Zen Pilot1. How did you first get into flying?
2. What advice would you get give to someone who wants to become an aviator? Join the military? Take classes? How expensive?
3. Does being a pilot pay little or lot? Or more?
4. You prepared to fly around the world in 95 days. But what surprised you?
5. What's your book, "Flying Thru Life" about?
6. You're flying from pole to pole during the COVID-19. What are some of the unexpected challenges that you faced?
7. When do you expect to finish?
8. How's flying the Drake Passage?
9. When do you expect to finish?
10. What's next?
I mentioned 13 Minutes to the Moon by the BBC.
