  • Chris Wall and Daniel Dominguez became the two youngest pilots in history to fly around the world together on 13 December 2000. Formerly, a youngest record had not been sought or recorded but is believed to be two airmen which crewed the Douglas World Cruiser Chicago which departed Santa Monica 6 April 1924. It is believed that pilot Lt. Lowell H. Smith, 31, recommended by Maj. Henry H. "Hap" Arnold and TSgt. Arthur Turner, 29, both a pilot and mechanic held this unrecorded and unspecified title when they participated in the first global orbit by aircraft. Douglas World Cruisers Aircraft N2782B is a 1957 Twin Commander model 680E cn559. The aircraft was dubbed "Dreamcatcher" by a gym teacher from Coronado High School in El Paso, Texas. Both have never been officially recognized by the FAI due to timing of the Jessica Dubroff accident. The flight was coined "World Flight 2000" and was a grass roots organization organized by students of Rice University and the University of Rochester, New York. A book, "Dreamcather: Tales from a Flight Around the World" was published in 2001. Since 2000, several successful and unsuccessful attempts have been officially recorded. (en)
