LADY AVIATOR COMPLETES EPIC SOLO FLIGHT

LADY AVIATOR COMPLETES EPIC SOLO FLIGHT

It was only in 1930, when Amy Johnson, the first woman-pilot (or aviatrix) flew solo from Britain to Australia, flying almost 11,000 miles in her aircraft named Jason. This was just one of the aviator's exciting flights across the world - another flight worth mentioning was that in 1931 when she flew from Britain to Russia in a single day (21 hours) and from there, she continued on to Siberia and then Tokyo, setting a new flying record from Britain to Japan.
 
Αmy turned into a symbol for men and women in aviation and she still remains a huge inspiration for women entering the world of aviation. Her flight from Britain to Australia was the dream of many women pilots for years and even her death in 1941 in an airplane crash, was an example of how deep her love for flying was and how passionate she was about it.
 
Many decades later, there was another woman who followed her steps in the world of aviation.

Tracey Curtis-Taylor began her long journey in October 2015 in her vintage open-cockpit biplane from Farnborough in Britain and after flying almost 14,600, over 23 countries with more than 50 refuelling stops, she completed her magical journey in January 2016.
 
This month she landed in Sydney, Australia.
 
She crossed Europe, flew over the Mediterranean Sea, the Dead Sea, Pakistan, Oman, India, Malaysia and Indonesia and then headed to Australia.
 
Flying over the Dead Sea, the Arabian and the Australian red desert she managed to overcome the extremely difficult weather conditions caused by high temperatures, monsoons, cold, rain and tropical hurricanes.

Tracey flew an average of 6-8 hours per day, followed and supported by a crew of engineers and camera crew who recorded her amazing adventure.
 
During her journey, she made several stops to visit schools in order to inspire more girls to follow their dreams. She dedicated her trip to her heroine, Amy Johnson and to all lady aviators out there chasing their dreams in a work domain of males. Her arrival at the Darwin airport in Australia, found her siping a glass of champagne, declaring that these 3 months turned out to be the most amazing, exciting and emotional experience in her whole life.
 
These two women set a great example, being a great inspiration to all the girls (including me) going after their dreams, turning them into reality!
