Another Solo Round the World Flight

Female Pilot?s Solo Flight Around the Globe Will Promote STEM and Aviation Education | Flying Magazine

I wish her well and hope she is more successful (and honest) than was a recent effort originated from the UK.

Good on her, a bit like Sheila Scott as opposed to TCT.

I get the impression that this kid is honest and that she really will fly the trip solo. None of the deceitfulness which marred an entirely less "Honourable" endeavour by a serial deceiver with whom she shares gender and little else.

I see that she departed Daytona, en route to Columbus Ohio. She almost cleared Florida, but made a sensible decision not to tangle with a line of thunderboomers and so divved to Jacksonville.

She's on her way on the first interesting sector: 8h20m from St Johns to Santa Maria.

There's a bit of that. This flight at least is done hundreds of times a year by ferry pilots of both genders in similar aircraft as just that, a ferry.
