FlyZolo Team Update - Day 42
Zara has finally arrived in #Anchorage, #Alaska! Wohooooooooo! ✈😅🙏💪⛅👍 There also seems to be a relatively good window for #Nome and over the #BeringStraits soon!!! Fingers and toes crossed everyone!!!!
As Zara says in this article from the Anchorage Daily News: “Right now, I’m just focusing on the flying,” she said. “It’s one leg at a time. I never look at the bigger picture just because it kinda freaks me out.”
Rutherford, who turned 19 in July and is from Belgium, was grounded in Juneau last week due to weather and mechanical issues with her plane.
She departed Juneau on Wednesday and landed in #Yakutat for a quick break after turbulence triggered her plane’s g-force warnings. After a break and a chocolate cookie she was back in the air.
“That second half was amazing,” Rutherford said. “It was really beautiful. It was also kind of my first (solo) flying ... in terrain, dodging mountains.”
ps: Check out the article: It's getting busy in that tiny plane...After #Nijntje (#Misty in English) and #Marimonda, we now have #MooseTheAviator 😁😂
