On July 7th, six Epic LT aircraft, along with 26 owners and crew, departed from Oshkosh, Wisconsin, on an adventure of a lifetime. Over the next 21 days, led by a team of internationally experienced pilots, they flew around the globe – traveling over 16,000 nautical miles, through nine countries and 21 cities, crossing three continents and two oceans.
The journey took them over ancient glaciers, medieval castles and volcanic islands, from the exotic Mediterranean coastline to the vast Siberian tundra. The fleet culminated their Odyssey adventure by returning to Oshkosh to celebrate EAA AirVenture 2016.
