“This is incredible because it’s one complete tour that is going around the world,” he said of the tour that swings by Manila, New York, Los Angeles and Mexico City in just six days.
It will cover a total of 25,000 miles, and both fighters, plus members of their small entourage, will practically hop in and out of planes, both commercial and private, night and day.
