I bet the other 2 hundred or so passengers are doing his share for him  The first time I flew many years ago, I did not stop praying until we landed.  |

Only had one flight where I was worried and that was late 80's flying into Poland during a storm.
Just thinking about how many miles I must have flown during my life. I've had 5 'around the world' tickets so far. The circumference of the Earth is just shy of 25,000 miles and I have zig zagged quite a bit so it would up it to perhaps 35,000. That's 175,000 miles. At least 20 flights to SE Asia, many via Hong Kong or China would be 20 x 7,000 miles, 140,000. Half a dozen single trips to Aus and NZ at around 12,000 miles is 72,000. With what must be well over 100 domestic and regional flights at an average of I would say 1000 miles a pop is 100,000. Must be well over half a million miles all up.
Average distance to the Moon is 238,857 miles so I could have flown to the Moon and back.
