A nice little joyride in a nice chopper - but technically not a circumnavigation - they didn't get into the southern hemisphere. But good on them for showing off Canada's highlights.

Dick Smith did the real thing 34 years ago in a B206 - SOLO.

And that 206 is still flying today

Havick, isn't VH-DIK hanging from the roof of the science museum in Sydney? His next bird DIB is probably still in the hands of his old mate.
