Stops of Carlo Schmid's flight

Carlo Schmid is a Swiss pilot.[1]

In 2012 he became the youngest solo pilot to fly around the world at the age of 22, breaking the previous record held by Barrington Irving.[1] The 110-hour[1] flight of his Cessna 210[1] lasted 80 days from July 11 to September 29, 2012.[2] The flight concluded with a landing at Dübendorf Air Base, accompanied by the PC-7 Team of the Swiss Air Force.[2]

In 2014, Schmid's record was broken by 19-year-old Matt Guthmiller[3] and in 2022 by 17-year old British-Belgian pilot Mack Rutherford.[4]
