Zhang has already started to plan for his third around-the-world flight. "There will be six planes together completing the third flight," he envisioned. "The starting and landing place will be definitely somewhere in China," he said.
Zhang made history in 2016 when he performed his first flight around the world in a propeller-driven aircraft. On Aug 7, 2016, Zhang took off from Beijing in a TBM700 Single-engine turboprop aircraft, flew past 23 countries, measured 40,818 km and landed safely in Beijing on Sept 24, 2016, after 44 landing points in 49 days.
