Around the World: Flight to End Polio

Today’s speakers, cousins and fellow Rotarians, Peter Teahen and John Ockenfels, piloted a single piston-engine airplane around the world in 2023 to raise awareness and money for Rotary’s End Polio Now program. The flight took 90-days, made 37 landings in 19 countries, and involved 24 fundraisers. Only 702 pilots in aviation history have ever achieved this feat, and less than 270 are alive today!
