On Aug. 2, 2013 four Russian pilots departed Moscow in a pair of turbine Robinson R66 helicopters on a once-in-a-lifetime, 45-day, 40,000 kilometer aerial adventure across Europe, the North Atlantic, Greenland, Canada, Alaska and Siberia. The R66s were about to depart Toronto Buttonville Airport on Aug. 23 when photographed. The burgundy R66 was flown by Dmitriy Rakitskiy and Vadim Melnikov.
