It does rather gladden the heart of this old aviator to see a 19 year old in a microlight, landing at JFK. The landing fee is $25...

Rather good YT video showing the relaxed way ATC handle this sort of thing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yerj_tqLR7U&t=137s

Brilliant stuff. I am so proud to have played even the tiniest part in this. It is why, totally why, I do what I do.

Superb and what appears to be a well planned and smoothly executed operation.A long way to go yet but performance of both plane and pilot is impressive considering the microlight category aircraft and a showcase for European aviation achievement.I shall enjoy following the rest of this epic journey!

Zara received a water salute, or shower of affection, from fire trucks at Barranquilla airport, her first stop in South America. By all accounts it was a very warm reception, in more ways than one.

Jumping in briefly, I found this:

Fred Lasby
In 1994, Fred Lasby, a longtime resident of Oliver, was 82 years old when he entered into the Guinness Book of World Records as the oldest person to fly around the world solo.

Not a word I use often - Awesome.

When she flew over my house on the way to Popham I pointed the tiny a/c out to two neighbours telling them the pilot was setting out around the world and they were impressed.

When I added said pilot was a young woman just out of school they were unable to take it in.

More so because she downplays her flying, while highlighting the support from her team, the people she meets and the places she visits.
