YOUNG AUSTRALIAN FLIES SOLO AROUND THE WORLD|澳洲18歲少年 單引擎飛機獨自環球一圈

An 18 year old Australian teenager has become the youngest person to fly solo around the world in a single-engine aircraft, completing the 45,000-kilometer trip in almost two months. Let's take a look Lachlan Smart departed from this airport 54 days ago. He flew and landed at 24 different places in 15 countries, with a total distance of 45,000 kilometers. The longest flight was from Hawaii to California, a 13-hour flight. ==LACHLAN SMARTAustralian pilot== So often we're told we're too young, you're not good enough, it's too hard when, with enough hard work, you can get there. Hopefully I've started to prove that as an 18-year-old for two and a half years planning this trip around the world and now having completed it after many hours of hard work I'm trying to prove the sky's not the limit so yeah, dream big. Smart raised funds over the internet and joined pilot training. He said that he got support from his family and friends, and many people around the world whom he never met. He encourages young people to break limits and pursue their dreams.
