Agreed Stallie :ok:
Actually I was just thinking about his age...and his attention in class, he brought the average age in the room down by about 30 seconds :E I know who was the main problem in the statistics there :} Hope he does not read this :uhoh: |
I would say that DBTW and MakeItHappenCapt would agree. This is a serious task and at 19 none the less. |
Kiribati today and by Saturday morning 052245 he should be in hilo.
Go Ryan! :ok: |
Anyone have the current link?
My Flight Aware seems to have fallen over... Cheers:ok: |
Keep in mind that in the Second World War some fuzz faced men of 18 and 19 matured so very rapidly after their experience of aerial combat or flying the big bombers at night over enemy territory. VH-XXX'S comment about relative ease may well have been taken the wrong way here. It is none the less a valid comparison, not, as XXX pointed out, detracting one iota from recognition of the initiative needed tackling aspects of the dreaded practique in some countries when you fly in and fly out, other than by way of international carriers . (Speaking as one who has been there, done that.) XXX – That would be the most myopic post I have seen on this site. Thinks . . .. . . a book of selected posts. . . put together by a myope. Titled MY OPTIC VIEWS. A LONG-SIGHTED PERSPECTIVE Full of quaint obscurities, no doubt. (Which is not an invitation for any impertinent person to suggest one may have been inhaling. Or imbibing the mountain tay, or the mountain dew, thank yew!) |
Flight Aware
Same here Griffo, but all the others I'm watching are OK??

Put a name to these folk!
One of these men holds the record for more hours in B747 and the youngest command of B747, and not likely to have either record broken.
One of these men is about to be the youngest to to fly around the world solo. And one is his dad (mum is easy to work out). After landing 16R at Van Nuys, he has had a rest and off to Tuscon AZ. Well done Ryan. Long way to go! http://i849.photobucket.com/albums/a...ps64b29886.jpg Admiring his sponsors. http://i849.photobucket.com/albums/a...psc2e51904.jpg Photo's courtesy of the old guy on the right :ok: |
One of these men holds the record for more hours in B747 and the youngest command of B747, and not likely to have either record broken. The latter is long gone - I suspect the former maybe also! Dr :8 |
Ryan is now in the UK.
The feedback I have had is he is doing a great job. Are we there yet? :) |
It's all downhill from here.
|
He is back in Oz! :D:D:D
http://i842.photobucket.com/albums/z...6.jpg~original Just a visit to the LAME, and off across the desert to home! Watching Ryan's progress and his confidence grow over the last 12 months has been a privilege. I think it is fair to say we are all very proud of your achievements Ryan. :ok: |
Great to see a young bloke show so much initiative :ok: Well done young man :D
|
He is doing well and now close to success I hope lots can be in the Gong for his final landing. Unfortunately I will be in the Apenine Mountains locating Bert Hinklers crash site.
|
Good for you Ryan and congratulations on a great trip.:D
Nice to see Dick Smith giving you a vote of approval. He was the boss when I got my DOA licence 430438 decades ago. Hope you get the Gabby Kennard welcome.:ok: |
Folks,
Regardless of who has dome what before, this is a splendid achievement, congratulations. Tootle pip!n |
.............phew glad he is back & in one piece:ok:Bloody terrific:-)
Love the photo of the kid & the 'Aussies', there's one proud mum there (& rightly so)as we stick out like the proverbial I reckon:ok: Bit like the yanks, we love our food:) Wmk2 |
Quick Flyin' Ryan !!
Very well done that man!! What a way to consolidate yr experience in the air thus far. What next ???
Enjoy the coldie at the 'Gong Congratulations.!:ok::ok: Dick is "unfortunate" to be in the Italian Pratomagno looking for Bert Hinkler's crash site. What a shame the wreckage was destroyed later. Just read The Most Daring Man In The World, too Aviator Supreme.! |
Isn't he still in WA? Hasn't reached the Gong yet has he?
|
Unfortunately I will be in the Apenine Mountains locating Bert Hinklers crash site |
Wally...Are you talking about the guys in the picture on his website or Facebook after his arrival in Broome? The one with the meat pie?
If so that is not Mum and Dad. Mum and Dad are below in this picture (save you going back a page) http://i849.photobucket.com/albums/a...ps64b29886.jpg Left to Right, Ryan Campbell, Joanne Campbell, Lindsay Campbell & John Deakin (the APS engine dude) |
...yeah 'Jabb's that was the piccy I was ref to. Good 'wholesome' Aussies:ok:
Wmk2 |
I wont be able to make it to the 'Gong for his arrival this weekend, but look forward to seeing him at AUSFly.
What a fantastic achievement! :ok::ok: Bevan.. |
ANd can I ask all of you to get behind the next stage of his project.
Hi Everyone! First of all, thank you for the support and kind words spread across the Teen World Flight social media. A fantastic team is working away to keep it updated. That itself is a huge job but I log on and read all the comments every day. It is fantastic to see so much interest in the flight. As you know I have teamed up with World Youth International, an Australian based charity, and as part of my flight it was my goal to benefit youth both within and beyond aviation. When the conversations with World Youth International began I realised what great potential this could have in benefiting youth beyond aviation. I also have aspirations of conducting a tour of Australian Schools and Youth Organisations in the future to promote the opportunities within aviation along with the ability to chase a dream, no matter how unrealistic it may initially seem. After weeks of discussion we brought together the ‘Dare2Dream’ scholarship fund. This is a joint effort between World Youth International and Teen World Flight. A $50,000 long term program to initiate 10 scholarships for Australian youth. One will become the ‘Robert Hoey’ scholarship, honoring the memory of World Youth International’s founder whilst the other will become the ‘Ryan Campbell’ scholarship. The further 8 will be an ongoing venture after the conclusion of the flight. My promise to World Youth International is to raise the $5,000 to fund my scholarship. This is a great mission and I look forward to being able to send someone overseas on a life changing adventure, just the like the one so many people have sent me on. Our fundraising platform is ‘Everyday Hero’, a simple and easy way to pass on your support. We can see the tally rise everyday towards my goal of reaching the $5,000 mark before my arrival into Wollongong on September the 7th. This $5,000 along with the behind the scenes work from World Youth International will collaborate to become a very successful and beneficial program for so many. I am asking for your support. With the countdown on for the arrival we have a little over a week to raise $3,000. With all the fans on Facebook that is under $1 per person! More than anything it is the simple effort of clicking on the link and heading to our Everyday Hero page. Let’s watch as the tally rises. Thank you in advance, Regards, Ryan or just go straight here, but it is better reading the blog first you lazy critters ;) https://give.everydayhero.com/au/teenworldflight |

Here we have a kid who, when most of his peers are getting pissed every other night on a backpacking tour of Europe, is getting out there and doing something pretty cool. |
Is it Moruya that Ryan is from? Does anybody know when he's flying from YWOL to YMRY??
|
Hope there is room in the PowerHouse museum to put his ride on permanent display. Maybe in front of that old looking Bell 206B!
|
I doubt the owner has that intention....but you never know.
I reckon stickers peeled off it by months end, unless he thinks it adds value as a round the worlder! |
Around the World in 70 days!
A brilliant 70 day global campaign and a REAL aussie leader arrives home this weekend aged only 19!
You're the guy that gets my vote tomorrow Ryan. :D:D:D Big celebration at the 'Gong' (YWOL) tomorrow guys! Teen World Flight CG PS: Surely CASA will certify your AVPLAN EFB product as passing the required field trials / certification approval process now Bevan !!!? :) |
Around the world in 70 days!
Splendid effort young man! It is unfortunate his home coming was over shadowed by the election and he failed to receive the kudos and press coverage that this great achievement deserves. I wish him continued success with his future in aviation.
:D Lb. |
Ryan is on 60 minutes tonight.
As for our approval, CASA have approved AvPlan but far faster than we expected. We're just finalizing the insurance before its all done |
Flying solo around the world is no mean feat. To complete it as a nineteen year old, is an awe inspiring achievement. I feel humbled. There is a lot I can learn from Ryan.
