FATHER AND SON PLAN WORLD
FLIGHT IN HOMEBUILT
FOR CANCER AWARENESS
STEPHAN ARMSTRONG, EAA 1054024, and his 12-year-
old son, Charlie, will attempt to fly their RV- 8 around
the world next year to raise awareness for the fight
against cancer. Called “Flying for the Cure,” the two
plan a spring 2012 departure from Borrego Valley
Airport near their
hometown of
Julian, California,
in SEE WORLD I,
the aircraft they
spent the past six
years building.
Flying for the
Cure will go the
North Atlantic route, from the East Coast to Canada,
Greenland, Europe, Africa, the Middle East, Asia,
Australia, Japan, Russia, Alaska, and then back to
Southern California.
“We’ve always wanted to fly around the world in
a small plane,” said Stephan, who earned his private
ticket in 1978. “Our goal is not to break records or
foolishly risk life and limb. Our message is simple: You
don’t have to be a movie star or a millionaire in order
to make a difference.”
Stephan, a caretaker and apple farmer in Julian,
says the flight will stretch over at least three months
and cover more than 35,000 miles.
