Australian legend, Dick Smith, completed the first Atlantic crossing and circumnavigation of the Earth by helicopter, solo . This incredible feat of flying was accomplished in 1983, when Dick flew his JetRanger, for 38,000 miles, on a flight from the Bell works in Fort Worth, Texas and was featured in a BBC documentary in 1983.

 

Fantastic achievement.

The man had to overcome, fog, monsoon rain, bureaucracy, fatigue, fear and being shot at, all on his own, without support and in a helicopter not designed for the task, but he still managed to stop for a photo shoot, on a glacier on USA highest mountain.

 

Wonderful.
