Zara Rutherford has completed her five-month, 28,000-mile journey around the world in a microlight aircraft. She is the youngest female to fly solo around the world. Zara hopes to go to university to study computer science/computer engineering. She says she’s, “Been flying for as long as I can remember and one of my biggest dreams (as well as flying around the world!) is becoming an astronaut. I was born into a family of aviators and was lucky to have great role models in my parents and grandparents. I want to build on this heritage and inspire others. My aim is to encourage girls and young women to pursue their dreams and promote aviation and STEM-related careers (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) for them. Girls are often encouraged to be beautiful, kind, helpful and sweet. With my flight I want to show young women that they can be bold, ambitious and make their dreams come true.”
