carusoam Posted August 20, 2021 Report Posted August 20, 2021 Is this the same link? 19yr old young lady flying around the world… I had difficulty getting JR’s link to work, but picked up what I think may be the news…. -a- Quote
Raymond J1 Posted August 20, 2021 Author Report Posted August 20, 2021 Yes, it's Zara, a young girl who is the pride of a few here. Tonight she arrived without problems in Kulusuk, her little Rotax is wonderful and the UL "Shark" holds the performances. 2 Quote
Mcstealth Posted August 20, 2021 Report Posted August 20, 2021 Good idea using the Rotax as fuel should be less of an issue compared to 100LL Quote
carusoam Posted August 21, 2021 Report Posted August 21, 2021 Zara was recorded by flightaware crossing the big pond… sort of. Both ends of the flight were recorded…. https://flightaware.com/live/flight/OMS443 About 150mph… And about the Shark… https://www.shark.aero Best regards, -a- Quote

How many rotax engines have done that? She just landed in Narsarsuaq after two days of waiting for bad weather. Several Rotax have done this, including one on autogyro. 1 Quote
kortopates Posted August 23, 2021 Report Posted August 23, 2021 Looks like the whole flight thus far is flown ar very low altitude. Not a lot of time if something goes bad. Brave young woman! Quote
thinwing Posted August 23, 2021 Report Posted August 23, 2021 she must have an iron butt,,cant imagine sitting on that seat for 7 or 8 hrs at astretch Quote
Raymond J1 Posted August 23, 2021 Author Report Posted August 23, 2021 Arrived to Goose bay ! 2 Quote
Raymond J1 Posted August 28, 2021 Author Report Posted August 28, 2021 At first there was a stop at Teterboro and then a Teterboro-JFK flight. Eventually she got a VFR direct clearance at JFK, which is amazing to us Europeans... But also the proof that in America everything is possible, included the reception of an LSA in VFR on an international hub(not sure that in Paris it would have had the same authorization for Charles de Gaulle under class A). So congratulations Gentlemen for this welcome and for your sense of hospitality. 1 Quote
carusoam Posted September 1, 2021 Report Posted September 1, 2021 Zara is making the news in a couple of different YouTube aviation videos… Best regards, -a- Quote
Raymond J1 Posted September 1, 2021 Author Report Posted September 1, 2021 Difficult day for her yesterday, with significant bypasses(she only does VFR), and therefore the constraint of the night in addition to sometimes flying very low. So well deserved rest today in the Virgin islands. FlyZolo Team Update - Day 13 After yet another diversion due to weather, Zara spent the night not in #Jacksonville as planned, but Washington Warren. Jacksonville couldn't be skipped, though, as there was someone of exceptional importance to be met: Shaesta Waiz, the current record holder for the #GuinnessWorldRecord of "Youngest Woman flying solo around the world". She was 30 when she broke it. Zara is just 19. The current youngest male record holder, Travis Ludlow, is 18. She is therefore trying to reduce the gap by more than 11 years. May we present to you, shoulder to shoulder, the Current and the Aspiring Record Holder! Come on, girls! Who is next? Give us some ! Yesterday I flew to Jacksonville first to meet Shaesta Waiz (check out previous post) which was amazing! Then straight to Miami yesterday evening. This morning I was hoping to get to the British Virgin Islands but didn’t quite make it due to weather again. That makes 3 diversions in 3 days. Tomorrow morning I’m leaving just after sunrise to get to BVI early and take a break in the afternoon Quote
carusoam Posted September 2, 2021 Report Posted September 2, 2021 I missed her! She stopped at my home drome… Princeton, NJ! Proof… She got pics and made the monthly newsletter… She is moving quickly… As the remnants of a hurricane are coming through this area today… Best regards, -a- 1 Quote
carusoam Posted January 25, 2022 Report Posted January 25, 2022 The dream has been completed! Congrats Zara! -a- She gets mentioned a few minutes into this news show… 1 Quote
cbarry Posted January 25, 2022 Report Posted January 25, 2022 That’s awesome! May she continue to achieve all she dreams! 2 Quote
carusoam Posted January 28, 2022 Report Posted January 28, 2022 Even better video about Zara… about a minute into this… -a- 1 Quote
