GWBAA To Support Record Flight for Pilot Shaesta Waiz
The GWBAA unanimously voted to support a flight record by Waiz, who will become the youngest female pilot to circumnavigate the globe.

On August 14, the Greater Washington Business Aviation Association (GWBAA) unanimously voted to support a flight record attempt from Honolulu to Oakland, California, by 30-year-old female Afghan pilot Shaesta Waiz with the National Aeronautic Association (NAA). Waiz, the founder of the non-profit organization Dreams Soar, is currently circumnavigating the globe in a single-engine A36 Beechcraft Bonanza. In an effort to promote science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) among young girls, Waiz will attempt to fly approximately 25,000 miles, making 30 stops on five continents in 90 days. When the trip is completed, she will hold the record for being the youngest female pilot to complete a solo flight around the world in a single-engine aircraft.
