Rutherford started her world record attempt in Kortrijk in mid-August. From there she flew in her ultralight sports jet to Scotland, to Iceland, Greenland, Canada and the United States and then on to Colombia.
She has traveled north again along the American west coast. From Alaska, Rutherford crossed to Russia and now she has arrived in South Korea. She wants to return to Belgium via Indonesia, India and the Middle East.
Rutherford is all alone, there is also no follower plane. The current Guinness World Record is held by American Shaesta Waiz who was 30 when she completed her solo tour in 2017.
