Sharing the story of an ordinary man who rises to extraordinary heights of achievement, Jones takes his audiences on the adventure of a lifetime, tackling obstacles of weather, political intrigue, sub-zero temperatures and sleep deprivation. Images captured from the Breitling Orbiter 3 bring to life the glories as well as the trials of his 30,000-mile flight. A balloonist since 1986, he served as an on-the-ground project manager for previous global attempts and oversaw construction of the Breitling’s gondola and flight systems. Jones is also co-author of Around the World in 20 Days. In this captivating presentation, Jones inspires audiences with his real-life example of how ordinary people can do extraordinary things. He tells of his 19 day, 21 hour and 55 minute adventure through the 29,055 miles of sky over southern Europe, North Africa, Southeast Asia, the Pacific Ocean, Central America and the Atlantic Ocean, to his successful landing in Egypt, near the great pyramids at Giza. Behind the success lies seemingly insurmountable challenges of doing what no one had ever done before. With Jones, you will live through and rise above the obstacles that caused previous attempts to fail — hostile political conditions which threatened to abort the journey; and surviving the challenging living conditions, including below zero temperatures, limited oxygen and sleep, grueling 16 hour shifts, and utter exhaustion. Audiences emerge energized and enthusiastic to face the turbulence of everyday life and work which lies ahead, and successfully navigate their own course through the horizons of the future. Jones speaks from the unique vantage point of a lifelong aviation enthusiast and veteran balloonist who after years of hard work, finally flies high in the annals of flight history.
