British Serial Adventurer James Ketchell seeks to become the first person ever to circumnavigate the earth solo in an open-cockpit gyrocopter.
On his way to the record, he’s stopping at the DHL CVG hub on Monday.
As part Ketchell’s U.S. route, in which he will land in over 66 cities.
DHL Express is supporting the world record-setting flight along his nearly 23,000-nautical-mile trip into the history books.
Ketchell’s journey, which began in England on March 31, may take up to one year before his final return to the country.
Stops include numerous speaking events at schools and visits to several DHL hubs around the world, including CVG. If successful, the gyrocopter will be the last type of aircraft in existence to complete a global circumnavigation.
Ketchell is a serial adventurer and the only person to have achieved the triple feats of rowing the Atlantic, climbing Everest and circumnavigating the globe on a bicycle.
Ketchell’s CVG visit will include demonstrations of the gyrocopter in flight.
