Staff from the Aviation Command today met Rose Donald at the Little Wings Base at Bankstown Airport. Rose, aged 17 & sitting her year 12 exams this year, is attempting to break the Guinness World Record for the youngest female pilot to fly solo around Australia. Whist attempting to break the record she hopes to raise $100,000 for the Little Wings charity. Her trip will take around 80 flying hours and she will travel 15,000kms, at the end of the circumnavigation she should have enough experience qualify for a commercial pilots licence. From all of us at PolAir, we wish Rose all the best of luck in her journey. pilotrose.au littlewingsaustralia
