North Pole Helicopter Adventure
There’s plenty of mystery surrounding the North Pole. First, it’s obviously where Santa Claus lives. But also, as any pilot knows, there are actually two North Poles: the True North and the Magnetic North. So which one is the “real” North Pole?
We met with one of the “Polar First” helicopter pilots to have the opportunity to fly to this magical place – a destination every traveler dreams of. In fact, this flight to the North Pole was the very first world tour by helicopter following a North-South axis, from the North Pole to the South Pole. Bruce Laurin from Bell Helicopters was joined by two pilots, Jennifer Murray and Colin Bodill. Their Bell 407 flew 33,330 miles, spanning 33 countries, took a whopping 171 days to complete. Fun fact: once you reach the South Pole, you can technically go around the world in just a minute and cross the boundaries of 12 countries!
