Some 50 students from a Las Vegas magnet school crowded the Mitsubishi MU-2 exhibit (Booth No. C6920) to hear Barrington Irving describe his around-the-world flight in a Columbia 400, in his own words.

The event was sponsored by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries America, and NBAA provided tickets for the students from Rancho High School to attend the NBAA convention and meet Irving, who was the youngest pilot to fly solo around the world and the first African American to do so. He now leads the Mitsubishi MU-2 Dream & Soar Program.
