Barrington Irving

Trailblazing Pilot

Barrington Irving starts his journey from "humble beginnings" to trailblazing pilot.

In 2007, Barrington Irving became the first African American and the youngest person at that time to pilot a plane around the world solo. When he eventually landed back at the Miami airport where he started, Barrington began to use his achievement as a way to reach young people.
