Caroline Lupini took some time during the pandemic to work on getting a pilots license, but didn’t want to just do circuits at the local airport. So instead she set out with a friend (and flight instructor) to establish a new record for the fastest path through the Lower 48, including a landing in each state. And the stories she has to share from the trip are pretty awesome.

Oh, and they went to Alaska, too, so the trip really covered 49 states.

  1. This was a very good podcast. I’ve followed Caroline for years but didn’t know she had done this. What a great story and good interview.
