They’ve done it! Two Swiss pilots, Bertrand Piccard and André Borschberg, have completed an unprecedented round-the-world trip in a solar-powered aircraft – without any fuel, powered only by the sun.
Such an adventure was only made possible by a keen pioneering spirit. This exceptional feat deserves appropriate recognition! Swiss Post is issuing a special stamp to commemorate the pilots’ achievement.
