Zhang Bo, a Chinese entrepreneur in the U.S., completed his second flight around the world and landed at a small airport in a southwest suburb of Chicago on June 6 after flying for 68 days and making 50 stops.

Zhang kicked off his journey in a DA42 propeller aircraft from the same airport in Chicago on April 2. In 68 days, he flew through 21 countries in three continents and over three oceans, with total mileage reaching 41,000 km.

Zhang made history in 2016 when he made his first flight around the world in a propeller-driven aircraft. On August 7, 2016, Zhang took off from Beijing, where he was born, in a TBM700 single-engine turboprop aircraft, flew over 23 countries covering a distance of 40,818 km and landed safely in Beijing on September 24, 2016, after 44 stops in 49 days.

Zhang has already started to plan his third around-the-world flight.
