Inspiration returns home

On 13 November, Cathay Pacific pilot Captain Hank Cheng, who created Hong Kong’s first homebuilt and locally registered aircraft “Inspiration”, completed his 78-day round-the-world journey, with Hong Kong as the starting and ending destination.

Captain Hank flew “Inspiration” across Victoria Harbour twice before landing at Hong Kong International Airport. Around 200 guests, including Professor Anthony Cheung, Secretary for Transport and Housing, Mr Simon Li, Director-General of Civil Aviation, and Mr Fred Lam, Chief Executive Officer of the Airport Authority Hong Kong, as well as HAECO and Cathay Pacific management, welcomed Hank and engineer Gary Tat, at a celebration event held at HAECO Hong Kong.

“Inspiration” has travelled approximately 50,000km around the world, making stops at 45 airports in 20 countries. HAECO Hong Kong has provided aircraft engineering support for the project over the past eight years, and will house the aircraft after its epic journey.
