Fakhr-e-Alam takes off with his childhood dream to fly the world in 28 days

Mission Parwaaz is a mission full of obstacles up in the air, but nothing seems to stop the uber-patriotic Fakhr-e-Alam. Fulfilling his childhood dream, Fakhr scored his private pilot license in 2015, later announcing his dream to circumnavigate the world to create a world record, first of its kind, in the history of Pakistan. Alam is currently flying the Pilatus PC12 single-engine turboprop aircraft for this mission. Fakhr will fly 26,000 miles, covering 31 cities and 25 countries on an estimated 28-day-long journey, weather permitting.

Keeping his followers updated with his current situation, Fakhr conveyed his message to the nation saying, “I have so far traveled 70% of the Atlantic. There was a small malfunction in the landing gear and hydraulic systems mid-flight, but having overcome this hitch, I am still very much determined to continue ahead and make my nation proud.”
