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

Hi Dick, do you think you could start another thread on this if you think it's worth it? It would be interesting to hear more about this...

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)

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

Help me help other young Australians

or just go straight here, but it is better reading the blog first you lazy critters ;) https://give.everydayhero.com/au/teenworldflight

CS, agree with you that it's an interesting and adventurous thing for a 19 year-old to do , but ......... (there's always a but, isn't there) having watched the "youngest pilot to ........" craze in the US just get more and more ridiculous with younger and younger children "piloting" airplanes across the US, finally resulting in the death of a 7 year old girl, her "flight instructor" who was actually flying the airplane, and her media whore father who in all probability was a factor in the decision to launch into a developing thunderstorm, "youngest pilot to ... " records sort of leave a bad taste in my mouth. Can this guy actually claim to be "piloting"? Pretty clearly, yes. How about the next record holder? Probably. However, the very nature of the phenomenon assures that the challengers to the record have a progressively thinner and thinner claim to really "piloting" as it is normally understood and inevitably it just becomes a publicity farce.

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!

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.
