Mack Rutherford made a stop in Orange County on Monday for lunch and fuel. He talked to CBSLA Orange County Reporter Michele Gile about his journey.
The 17-year-old pilot from Belgium has already flown across Eastern Europe and landed Monday into Southern California. The teenager, whose entire family are aviators, is on track to become one of the first minors to fly around the world on his own.
"I was in Japan and it's a huge leg toward the U.S. so I had to add extra fuel tanks just for that one stop and I did a 10 hour flight over to Attu Island which is completely uninhabited," Weatherford said."Not a single person and I landed there safely and everything was fine." After the Orange County pit stop, Rutherford took off for Cabo San Lucas. If all goes as planned, he'll set the Guinness World Record in a few weeks when he lands back in Bulgaria.
