What are they doing it for ?

You may be surprised but they do this for fun. There still are few people on the Globe who make things for fun.

There is another expedition well on the way on a single R66. This one is around Russia. Alongside Russian border. It has English site.

I have also asked for the site to be translated into English ASAP. Not sure though how quickly this can be done.

Finally two of the guys who are flying now around the world flew a few months back to the north pole on R66. Here is the video about it.

The site is in English now

The site linked above in the first post is now in English. There is a bit of delay in translation of comments from the crews but so far it does not seem to be too long - next day.

So now both site and short videos are in English as well as in Russian.
