(CNN) — A British adventurer has become the first person to circumnavigate the globe on a gyrocopter, completing a six-month journey that saw him narrowly escape a lightning strike on Sunday.
James Ketchell traveled 24,000 nautical miles on the miniature aircraft, whose cockpit is exposed to the elements.
He landed at an airport in Hampshire, England on Sunday in front of a crowd of well-wishers.
The 37-year-old's aircraft had a range of just 700 nautical miles and a maximum speed of 70 knots, meaning his journey was completed in several short installments.
He traversed mainland Europe and Russia before crossing into Canada and the United States, flying over Greenland and Iceland and stopping for the final time on the Faroe Islands, north of Scotland.
