Pilot flies halfway round world - He is blind
There’s no stopping for this 58 year old blind man on his record breaking fund raising journeys. After successfully completed some of the most difficult obstacles that only uber human can endure, Miles Hilton-Barber just finished his halfway round trip flight using his microlight aircraft. This is just pretty amazing! Even myself can’t do that! I have 2 working eyes yet I never had the chance to accomplish such wonderful works like these.
A blind British pilot landed his microlight aircraft in Sydney Monday to complete a record-breaking flight halfway around the world. Miles Hilton-Barber left London on March 7 and flew more than 21,000 kilometres (13,500 miles) to raise funds to fight blindness in developing countries. Via Yahoo!
Not only that take a look at his successful and unbelievable journeys.
In 1999 Hilton-Barber completed the “Toughest Foot-race on Earth” — 250 kilometres across the Sahara Desert — before running in the “Coldest Marathon on Earth”, the Siberian Ice Marathon. He has climbed Mt Kilimanjaro and Mt Blanc, Africa and Europe’s highest mountains, and set the Malaysian Grand Prix lap record for a blind driver in a 200 kilometre per hour Lotus.
This man is outstanding! His name should be written in the Guinness Book of World Records. Such an idol!
