As I prepare for this monumental flight, I am filled with excitement and weight of the challenge that lies ahead. At the same time, there is a mix of anxiety and fear of the unknown. The vastness of the ocean stretches out before me and while I am confident in my skills as a pilot, the unpredictability of mother nature keeps me grounded. I take a deep breath, reminding myself of the countless hours of preparation I have dedicated to this moment. Despite the danger, I cannot ignore the strong desire to push the boundaries of flight, to test my own limits, and to prove that it is possible to circle the globe.
Imagine you are Amelia Earhart, moments before your fateful final flight. What thoughts and emotions are running through your mind?
