Slovenian light aircraft maker Ivo Boscarol (R) poses with Matevz Lenarcic, Slovenian pilot, biologist and photographer, as Lenarcic prepares to take off from Ljubljana airport on January 8, 2012 for a flight around the world in a 290 kilograms (640 lb) airplane consuming the smallest amount of fuel ever. During the trip, Lenarcic alone in a ultra-light Pipistrel Virus-SW914 will cross some 100,000 kilometres (62,000 miles) hoping to circle the world westbound in two months and a half. Overall, he plans to overfly seven continents, 60 countries, 120 national parks, the world's highest mountains including the Mount Everest, cross three oceans and the Antarctic, burning the smallest amount of unleaded fuel per distance flown.
