Tom,

Arnold Palmer did a circumnavigation in a Lear. Danny Kaye did it as
well, however, now that you mention it, his trip may not have been in
a Lear.

All the best,
Rick

Paul,

Please tell us how you would handle a complete electrical failure, at
night, in IMC when your flight instruments are not vacuum powered, but
are electrically driven.

It's funny, but very accomplished people, such as actors, sometimes
become very accomplished pilots as well. Ability in one area is not
necessarily mutually exculsive with the other. Danny Kaye, for one,
who set an around the world speed record in a Learjet.

Danny might have, but aren't you thinking of Arnold Palmer?
