I suppose everyone in the US has seen the road sign that reads "Blind Drive". Which, if it literally meant what it said, would explain much of the driving we see on the roads every day. But of course, it just means that there is a driveway ahead that can't be seen until you are right on top of it. I have no idea if they use that same sign in France. Perhaps another one is fitting for them, though.
Luc Costermans, a 41-year-old former businessman blinded two years ago in an accident, told AFP he hoped to make it into the Guinness Book of Records for his tour of the country, completed Friday.
"I decided to complete this tour of France as a personal challenge and to send a message of hope to other physically disabled people," said Costermans, who only began flying last November.
The 13-hour, 1,900-kilometre (1,180-mile) flight took off on Friday morning from the flying club of Visan in the south-east in a Robin DR-400 with an instructor and an expert navigator.
Well, at least he wasn't distracted by the scenery.
