16-year-old pilot begins round-the-world flight

The special thing is that this pilot is only 16 years old. If successful, Mack will become the youngest person fly around the world alone.

The runway west of the Bulgarian capital Sofia was windy but the sky was clear. Mack, a 16-year-old Belgian-British teenager, climbed into the cockpit of the small plane alone, confidently started the engine and drove away.

Mack’s dream was inspired by his sister. Just two months ago, Mack’s 19-year-old sister Zara Rutherford set the world record for the youngest girl to fly solo around the world.

Mack also aims to be the youngest person to fly around the world alone. But this is not the main goal. Mack wanted to prove something more than that.

“I’m trying to prove that young people can make a difference, we don’t have to wait until we’re older, we don’t have to wait until 18 to do these extraordinary things. You can do it. something big when you’re young and don’t wait.”
