Queensland teenager Lachlan Smart has taken to the sky in his bid to become the youngest person to fly solo around the world in a single-engine aircraft.
The 18-year-old flew his Cirrus SR22 out of the Sunshine Coast Airport just after 4:00am, bound for Fiji.
He plans to land in 24 countries on a 45,000-kilometre trip that is expected to take seven and a half weeks to complete.
Lachlan has spent two and a half years preparing for the journey.
