Yes you are andyt, glad to see you admit it.

Now as for the guy in the story. Dang lucky of him but also glad to see he had the training and enough of his equipment to survive. He got lucky but then again so many of us get lucky during our lives.

I do wonder if he will try to fly around the world again.

I'm thinking adventurer type. Wanting to set a world record or to be the first to do something.

CBC reported that his last refueling stop had no avgas so he filled up with some other gas. Don't know how vital avgas is for the operation of a helicopter.

IIRC, turbines can burn most anything flammable, but they won't operate as efficiently as the fuel they are designed to burn. So, as he found out, even giving it more throttle might not work as expected.
