Circle the Atlantic: Flight To End Polio, like its sister flight in 2023, titled, Around The World: Flight To End Polio, raised awareness and funds for the efforts of Rotary International (RI) and the Global Polio Eradication Initiative (GPEI). 

Circle The Atlantic: Flight To End Polio was piloted by Rotarians Peter Teahen and Ed Galkin, with technical support provided by Rotarian John Ockenfels. The flight was flown in a 1976 Cessna 210 single-engine airplane.  The flight involved a 37-day, 9,000 nautical mile flight, with 15 landings in eleven countries, and multiple fundraisers.  Galkin and Teahen accomplished three international aviation records on the flight.

 Bill will talk about the Natrium Nuclear Reactor being built up in Kemmerer Wyoming
