Mil-Comm Sponsors World Flight 2000.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J., Sept. 15 /PRNewswire/ --

World Flight 2000, a 25,000-mile around-the-world odyssey by two 22-year old pilots, will be co- sponsored by Mil-Comm Products' flagship lubricant TW-25B extreme performance grease. Pilots Dan Dominguez and Chris Wall began their three-month flight on September 13 in a restored 1957 AeroCommander 560E from Rochester, NY. The youngest pilots to circumnavigate the earth will be accompanied by photographer Jesse Weisz. World Flight 2000 will span five continents and involve children from more than 20 countries via television and the Internet. America Online is also a sponsor of World Flight 2000.

"We want to share the dream and spirit of flying as well as educate schoolchildren all around the world with our flight," explained Dominguez, chief pilot of World Flight 2000. Schools around the globe will follow the flight through an innovative curriculum that can be shared and added to by teachers worldwide. Through advanced electronic media, people following the flight will be able to receive constant updates of the progress of the flight along with pictures and video footage of the trip.

By also stopping at classrooms along the way, Dominguez and Wall hope to create international connections between students and teachers that would otherwise be impossible, helping to foster understanding and appreciation of different peoples and cultures. A team of student volunteers is helping contact school districts around the world. The pilots plan to visit at least one school at each stop along the flight for an on-line presentation shared with classrooms around the world.

The pair will cross the Atlantic, touching down in Morocco, Spain, Italy, Turkey and Greece. Over the Mediterranean, the fliers will visit the pyramids in Egypt, travel through the Mid-East and on to India, Thailand, Singapore and Bali. Australia is next; including a visit to famed Ayers Rock, then on to the islands of Fiji and Samoa. After a stop in Hawaii, World Flight 2000 crosses the Pacific to San Jose, CA. After two stops in Texas, the flight will return to Rochester in December.

Founded in 1985, Mil-Comm Products Company manufactures a complete line of extreme performance lubricants and coatings. Unlike conventional lubricants and coatings, Mil-Comm's products provide extreme temperature performance (hot or cold), extreme load carrying capabilities and extreme pressure resistance simultaneously. These performance aspects coupled with superior corrosion inhibition has led the United States military to specify these products on various systems, both combat and non-combat. Like the U.S. Air Force, World Flight 2000 will be using TW-25B in their AeroCommander during the 25,000-mile journey.
