Palmer Hangs Up The Joystick
January 29, 2011
Fans of The King know not only of Palmer’s exploits in golf, but also of his love of flying. Since 1956, Palmer has been a licensed pilot, winging his way between tournaments, corporate stops and vacations. All told, he’s logged more than 20,000 hours in the cockpit. In 1976, he set a circumnavigation speed record, rounding the globe in 57 hours, 25 minutes, 42 seconds. The record still stands.
Palmer’s days as a pilot are over, however. His current license expires Jan. 31, 2011 and Palmer will not renew it.
