CRESWELL –  Sure, flying around the world in 2024 in a single-engine airplane is an incredible feat – but obviously it’s much easier now than it was 100 years ago, when it was first accomplished. 

Still, Bob Bates and Barry Payne – more commonly referred to as Bob and Baz – are proud to be finishing up their commemorative historic around-the-world flight, even if it is just one small step for mankind.
