..."about to leave Embry-Riddle on a solo round the world flight"...
My old Alma Mater - who guided my first faltering flutters in 1941 when it was just a little Flying school in Arcadia, FLA, taken over by the USAAC as a Primary School for Pilot Training.

..."On this flight there may in fact have been two "passengers"...
ISTR that Winston Churchill, in his pre-WW1 days, had a go at this flying business, and spoke of: "Stalling between two Fools !"
Cheers both, Danny.
PS:
"The Spring is Sprung, the Grass is riz,
I wonder where the Boidie is ?
"The Boid is on the Wing - ain't that absoid ?
I always thought the Wing was on the Boid !" (Anon ?)
So the Bird in a Biplane is off again - watch this space ! D.
