(MENAFN- Muscat Daily) Muscat- British helicopter pilot Peter Wilson will be landing in Muscat this week as part of his round the world helicopter flight. Last year, Wilson travelled soloby helicopter through 23 different countries to complete a journey around Africa of about 16,600nm in 73 days, stated a press release.
