Wow that seat looks uncomfortable for a round the world flight. 
 

congratulations on the crossing!  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.

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.

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
