This spring, Barrington Irving, a 23-year old senior majoring in aerospace at Florida Memorial University, will trade his cap and gown for a brown flight suit, climb into a single-engine plane he calls "Inspiration," and embark on a round the world flight that will make him the first person of African descent and the youngest person ever to fly solo around the globe.
