Zen Pilot Is Flying From Pole to Pole

Flying to the South Pole and then to the North Pole in a small plane is extremely dangerous. 

Robert DeLaurentis, who is known as the Zen Pilot, is on the brink of pulling this off.

I caught up with him when he was grounded in Spain during the Coronapocolypse. 

By the time this airs, he should be in Sweden. 

He plans to fly over 3 key places around the North Pole in July 2020.

Track his journey on his website.
