Miguel Angel Gordillo is the first man who circumnavigated the earth over both poles in a homebuilt aircraft under 1750 kg. In 2016 he covered 41,000 nm in two stages in the shape of an eight at extreme flight conditions over desert, jungle, mountains, ocean and ice. He earned the world record of the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale (FAI).
