British aviator Tracey Curtis-Taylor flew her open-cockpit biplane across Sydney Harbor and landed at the city's international airport on Saturday, completing a three-month journey from England to retrace a pioneering feat of early aviation.
The 53-year-old aviator set out from Farnborough on Oct. 1 to follow the flight path of legendary aviator Amy Johnson, who in 1930 became the first woman to fly solo between Britain and Australia.
"I need a drink," Curtis-Taylor told waiting media as she climbed from her 1942 Boeing Stearman and was handed a glass of champagne.
