The Sikorsky S38, known as "The Flying Zebra" or "The Flying Yacht" is 82 years old ... still going strong ,,, and about to embark on a long journey across the Atlantic. On August 21, 2010, the "Flying Zebra" will take off from Minneapolis, MN, and fly over Canada, Greenland, Iceland, Scotland, England, all the way to Frankfurt, Berlin and Hamburg raising money for the charity Wings of Hope.


Sikorsky S38 Flying Zebra

The event is being co-ordinated in the UK by Aviation Without Borders (AWB) in close co-operation with its sister organisation in Germany, LOG (Luftfahrt ohne Grenzen - Wings of Help).

Many millions of moviegoers have seen "the old lady" in action in the 2004 film "Aviator" where Leonardo DiCaprio flew her over Los Angeles and then landed her by the seashore.  This amphibious aircraft has explored and surveyed many of the world's continents and oceans.
