It was further revealed that, using various land vehicles, he had traveled and walked 15 million miles.

He flew Concorde aircraft 718 times.

To better understand the scale of Fred's passions, consider the distance between the Earth and the Moon.

The traveler covered this very path 31 times.

Finn is currently in his seventies.

He spent most of his life on the road, having first traveled to New York City at the age of 18.

At the same time, he started a special diary in which pilots, engineers and vehicle drivers signed.
