Default Tracey Curtis-Taylor Arrives In Sydney

What an historic occasion at Sydney Airport today, with Tracey Curtis-Taylor completing her 13,000 mile journey across 23 countries in her open cockpit
vintage biplane. Tracey flew from Great Britain to Australia in the Boeing Stearman B75N1 N56200 (757813) named "Spirit of Artemis", which was built in
1943. It was an absolute pleasure to talk with Tracey, and hear about her epic journey. A well deserved congratulations and glass of champagne to mark
the occasion. The Stearman's wings will be removed, and the aircraft shipped back to Boeing in Seattle, where it will be prepared for Tracey to fly the
aircraft across America to mark Boeing's 100th anniversary.

The Boeing Stearman B75N1, such a beautiful aircraft, and now "Spirit of Artemis" is historic as well.


Cheers Tracy on an amazing achievement


N56200 is an immaculate aircraft in every respect


A pleasure to meet you Tracey, and hear about your epic journey. Tracey gained her Pilots licence at age 16, just like me.
