Helicopter 'round world

February 14, 2007

British pilots making world record attempt to fly a helicopter around both poles, make it past the South Pole. Jennifer Murray and Colin Bodill are the kind of people that dare to dream. Jennifer is 66 years old, Colin is 55. But don't let their age make you think this pair aren't about adventure. Jennifer was the first woman in the world to circumnavigate the globe in a helicopter - something she did as a 56-year-old and mother of two children. Murray was the first man to do it in a tiny microlight plane. Now, together these two British pilots are attempting to triumph in one of the last great unaccomplished feats of aviation - flying in a helicopter around the world via the North and South poles.
