Female pilot completes epic solo flight

Source:

Aviator Tracey Curtis-Taylor has arrived in Australia after a three-month trip in a biplane more than 70 years old. The flight was in part an homage to legendary female adventurer Amy Johnson.

British adventurer Tracey Curtis-Taylor finished her grand journey from Britain to Australia in a 1942 biplane on Saturday. “I need a drink,” she declared as her three-month journey came to its conclusion with a flyover of Sydney Harbour.

Curtis-Taylor, 53, began her journey in Farnborough in the southeast of England on October 1 with the goal of retracing the flight path of her legendary predecessor Amy Johnson, who became the first woman to complete a solo flight between England and Australia in 1930.
