MackSolo Team Update:
So this is it: Mack announced yesterday at the EFG Flying School at London Biggin Hill Airport his intention for RTW solo flight, leaving 17th March from Sofia, Bulgaria โœˆ๏ธ๐Ÿฆˆ๐ŸŒ.

Perhaps not a surprise as Mack ๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง was born in a family of aviators ๐Ÿ‘ฎ๐Ÿปโœˆ๏ธ. His father Sam is a professional ferry pilot and ex-Army helicopter pilot ๐Ÿš, his mother Beatrice is a private pilot. His sister Zara is a private pilot too and on 20 January last she completed her own circumnavigation, becoming the youngest woman in history to do so.

But it doesnโ€™t stop there: on Mackโ€™s fatherโ€™s side, his grandmother ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง was with the WAAF (Womenโ€™s Auxilary Airforce), his great-grandmother ๐Ÿ‡ฟ๐Ÿ‡ฆ ๐Ÿ‘ต๐Ÿป was one of the first South-African women to learn to fly and his ๐Ÿ‡ฟ๐Ÿ‡ฆ great-grand-uncle ๐Ÿ‘จ๐Ÿปโ€๐Ÿฆณ was an RAF war- hero flying a Catalina in Sri Lanka. On his motherโ€™s side, his grandfather ๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡ช and great-grandfather ๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡ช were pilots too ๐Ÿคช๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘ฎโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ‘ฎ๐Ÿป๐Ÿ‘ฎโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ‘ฎโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ‘ฎ๐Ÿปโœˆ๏ธโœˆ๏ธ.

Since he became a pilot at 15 he has been dreaming about and planning his solo flight around the globe ๐ŸŒ. In the meantime his sister Zara became the youngest woman to fly around the world, which gave Mack an additional spur to set off.

Mack will start his trip in Sofia, Bulgaria, the location of his sponsor ICDSoft ๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡ฌ. From there he will fly south to Africa, stopping in Congo, Madagascar and Mauritius. Next he will head north to Oman, UAE and east to Kazakhstan and across Russia. He will cross the Bering Strait into Alaska and continue along the west coast of America to Mexico. Then he will head north again along the east coast to Canada, he will cross the Atlantic, stop in Iceland, the UK and finish his journey in Sofia.

Mack hopes to meet young people on his route around the globe who do incredible things โœจ, making a difference ๐Ÿ’ช to their communities or even to the world.

Thank you to the Biggin Hill Efg Flying School, the Falcon family and London Biggin Hill Airport for all your help and support. ๐Ÿ™โœˆ๏ธ๐ŸŒ
