SETTING A NEW WORLD RECORD ONE WOMAN’S GOAL TO INSPIRE OTHERS
Back in 1932, Amelia Earhart shocked the world when she became the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean. She has inspired thousands of young women to pursue their dreams when others told them it wasn’t possible or worth it. This past January, another female aviator set a record that will surely inspire others to follow in her footsteps. On Jan. 20, 2022, 19-year-old Zara Rutherford landed her plane in western Belgium after first taking off 155 days earlier. In those 155 days, she traveled across the world and set a world record as the youngest woman to fly solo around the world. She traveled 28,000 nautical miles while stopping in 41 countries across five continents. Initially, her flight was only supposed to take three months, but it was extended after bad weather intercepted her flight path, and she faced visa issues in some countries that kept her grounded for weeks. She had to avoid flying through the California wildfires and North Korean airspace. Rutherford also spent weeks in the small Siberian village of Aryan where she had little communication with the outside world. She flew using visual flight rules, which meant she flew basically on sight alone, and that slowed down her overall flight time. Rutherford started traveling in small planes with her parents, who are both pilots, when she was 6 years old. She flew herself when she turned 14. It didn’t take long for her dreams to form. Though she was concerned with the cost and her safety, she grew determined to fly around the world.
“I thought, actually, this is the perfect opportunity to do something crazy and fly around the world,” said Rutherford.
With her spot secured in the record books, Rutherford hopes to infuse young women around the world with the spirit of aviation and an enthusiasm to study sciences, technology, mathematics, and engineering in school.
