About Me
 

 

Ben Riecken is a flight instructor at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University after he graduated with a bachelor degree in Aeronautical Sciences. In 2003, he set onboard a Cessna 172 an aviation record by landing at all 105 hard surface airports in the State of Florida in less than 48 hours.

In July 2006, Ben flew across the North Atlantic onboard a Seneca V sponsored by New Piper, Air Alpha and Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. You can still see the website at www.northatlanticchallenge.com or the daily diary entries in the Leader Magazine (PDF format).

He is pursuing now another kind of challenge. Escape the boundaries of our atmosphere onboard SpaceShipTwo designed by Burt Rutan and his team. A $200,000 ticket ride.
