“Famed champion golfer and promoter of Pennzoil motor oil, Arnold Palmer, has made it in the Air Warriors section! On May 19, 1976, he and Robert J. Serling and copilots James E. Bir and L.L. Purkey, completed a Federation Aeronautique Internationale light aircraft record breaking flight around the world in 57 hours, 25 minutes, and 42 seconds! The flight occurred in a Gates Learjet 200, and was 28 hours, 43 minutes and 19 seconds faster than Arthur Godfrey and Dick Merrill's record in 1966. Palmer's trip covered approximately 23,000 miles, where they averaged almost 600 miles per hour, and made nine stops in seven countries. Wherever they stopped, they presented bicentennial flags and bronze replicas of the Declaration of Independence!”
