Belgian-British Mark Rutherford landed at an airport in Bulgaria to a celebrating crowd congratulating the 17-year-old on the record. He is thus the youngest ever to fly around the world, but sister Zara already performed the same flight last winter.
Proud Zara Rutherford holds the record as the youngest woman to have flown solo around the world, then as a 19-year-old. But the little brother has taken her second title: Youngest person to make the long flight in an ultralight aircraft.
– I am proud of him, she says in connection with his finish.
