Gaby Kennard was the first Australian woman to circumnavigate the globe by airplane. In 1989, she began her journey, following Amelia Earhart's route as much as possible. The trip took 99 days and covered 29,000 nautical miles.

Gabby used a Comanche. The linked news article headlined the latest trip as "Flying Solo" although she had a co-pilot.
