Jamaican making history - 1st black man to fly around the world!
Quote:
This spring, Barrington Irving, a 23-year old senior majoring in aerospace at Florida Memorial University, will trade his cap and gown for a brown flight suit, climb into a single-engine plane he calls "Inspiration," and embark on a round the world flight that will make him the first person of African descent and the youngest person ever to fly solo around the globe.
Visit his website here.

Wow!

God be with him on his journey.

Re: Jamaican making history - 1st black man to fly around the world!
He is a real inspiration and imagine that at age 22 he founded a nonprofit organization, Experience Aviation, Inc., to address the significant shortage of youth pursuing careers in aviation and aerospace.

For us here at ETJ let us make the trip with Barrington be sure to read his blog and see photos of each city he visits on his quest around the world.

From one Jamaican to another.....GodSpeed!

We need to let all the kids know that anything and everything is possible - get them to lift themselves up just as high and stop blaming the system...
Drop the guns & knives - get and education and let theirs lives truly take off!
