A blind British pilot landed his micro light aircraft in Sydney on Monday to complete a record-breaking flight halfway around the world. Miles Hilton-Barber left London on March 7 and flew more than 21,000 kilometres to raise funds to fight blindness in developing countries. “It’s the fulfillment of an amazing dream,” the 58-year-old adventurer said after touching down at Sydney’s Bankstown airport. “I’ve been wanting to do this flight for about four years.” Hilton-Barber flies with a sighted co-pi lot but relies on speech output from his navigation instruments to steer his course, directing the plane from a wireless keyboard. “I’ve wanted to be a pilot since I was a kid. Now I’m totally blind and I’ve had the privilege of flying more than halfway around the world. The big deal is not me doing this, it’s raising funds,” he said. Hilton-Barber, who has been blind for 25 years, hopes the trip will raise some $ 2 million for the charity Seeing is Believing, which works to cut the incidence of preventable blindness in developing countries.

She also thinks that some alien story has 50/50 chance of being true. I looked it up and all the evidence came from one man, and is a bad fake at best. E.g. different descriptions to photos etc. I showed her all this, and she thinks it's as likely that he was truthful as just made it up for a laugh. Really cannot comprehend how people believe these types of things.
