A New Jersey pilot landed his beloved Cessna 210 at his base of Central Jersey Regional Airport in Hillsborough on Nov. 4 after finishing his fourth circumnavigation. Ed Galkin, 86, took off in mid-September and had planned to be back Nov. 18 but picked up a couple of weeks on the 22,000-mile journey. He also made the trip in 1988, 2004 and 2018. The retired dentist acknowledged that this was likely his last earthrounding.

Fantastic accomplishment. I hope I’m able to do that well at 86. Only 146.4 hours added to the log book.
