Kolkata: This is story of courage and passion
of 21 year old Malaysian Pilot who was born with dyslexia. The Malaysian Pilot
managed to fly half way around the world in a tiny, single engine Cessna 210
eagle aircraft.
The Malaysian Pilot James Anthony Tan started
his journey from Langkawi on 26th March 2013 and will expect to
return to Malaysia on 15th May 2013. The pilot had been scheduled to
arrive Kolkata on 11th May 2013 as part of his journey.
The Press Conference had been organized by
Tourism Malaysia, New Delhi for this young talent to interact with local media
from Kolkata and share his experience with them. Mr.Raszlan Abdul Rashid, Acting
High commissioner of Malaysia, Mr.Sanjay Budhia, Honorary Consul of Malaysia,
Kolkata and Mr. Amran Bin Abdul Rahman, Director, Tourism Malaysia, New Delhi
were also there to applaud this young talent. The Conference was held in The
Grand Oberoi, Kolkata and 25 top most media people from Kolkata were present to
capture this event.
According to James, he always wanted to do
something to inspire and motivate people and convey message to youngster from
all over the world that nothing is impossible. Tan maintains a tracking system
on his website which indicates the progress of his journey he has made.
James also expressed in the press conference
that he had some moments of concern about sufficient fuel, and weather when he
was flying from Russia to Alaska and saw frozen waves. It was bit scary for him
when random thoughts were coming in his mind “what would happen if something
will go wrong”.
James, who has piloting Licence from Australia
and UK Civil Aviation, is not only the youngest pilot to fly alone around the
world in a single engine aircraft but will also achieve this feat in the
shortest duration among other record holders in this category, recognized by
the World Record Academy.

tries to raise awareness about problem faced by children with special needs and
motivate them to chase their own dreams.
