My main achievement today....

I saw a rainbow, so I flew through it.

I wish I could jump in a time machine & tell a young me that she would do that one day.

🌈🌤💨✈️☺️

@ltyoja We think so too!

It’s a little late for #IWD2020, however we wanted to say how wonderful it was to meet Capt. James on our visit with @Field_Army. Thanks for all the work you do for the Army Servicewomen’s Network & for being such an excellent role model

[Dr Tess Morris-Paterson @DrTessMP]

Incredibly humbled to have the opportunity to meet CFA @field_army today and talk about our summer world record attempt. It seems he’s very persuasive as we are now planning our next challenge! #BringItOn #WomenInAviation

I’m bringing this girl to every airshow. She can definitely be our chief cheerleader. 👏🏻👏🏻😯👏🏻👏🏻

[Dr Tess Morris-Paterson @DrTessMP]

This clip is our last (of three) emergency landings before we decided to call it a day on our Guinness World Record attempt to fly through all 48 contiguous US states.

Tess made a PAN call & emergency engine procedures, whilst Morag looked out for a field or airfield to land

@dragongirl94 Brilliant- well done Ellie! Shame we didn’t get to meet properly last weekend. Congratulations on your award ☺️👌🏼

[Dr Tess Morris-Paterson @DrTessMP]

Tess has been adding to her flying skill set, which will be helpful for future challenges. Up until now we have flown in daylight hours only- this will give us a lot more flexibility in our flight planning 👍🏼

[UK Land Operations @UKLandOps]

That’s so cool, but richly deserved. Well done both of you. Go break the world record next year.

[Dr Tess Morris-Paterson @DrTessMP]

@field_army @BritishArmy @womenindefence @PhysioMorag @Perform_Science It was an absolute honour to meet you, Sir. Can’t thank you enough for your advice and also for fuelling the fire to push our boundaries even further!

We are so delighted to have attended the @BWPA_UK Christmas dinner today & meet so many incredible women in aviation.

We were also surprised & thrilled to have won the Faith Bennett Navigation Cup. Awarded since 1959 for stretching the experience of the pilot to the limits

[Morag M-P @PhysioMorag]

What a privilege to spend time discussing old and new challenges with CFA @field_army today and receiving this coin for recognition of our world record attempt - it certainly whet our appetite for what the future can bring. Excited to share our ideas with you soon.

[Dr Tess Morris-Paterson @DrTessMP]

If yes, what in particular would you be interested in being included? Please share and comment below 👍

[Dr Tess Morris-Paterson @DrTessMP]

Two quick polls for you all:

If we were to write a book about our world record attempt, would you be interested in reading it?

[Dr Tess Morris-Paterson @DrTessMP]

Back to normality for us. During our climb up Helvellyn we noticed even more donations had come in; thank you so much to our friends, family & more anonymous donations! A particular thanks to mystery donor Geoffrey Malcolm Scott who has given a hugely generous amount

[Dr Tess Morris-Paterson @DrTessMP]

02:00h - Great to back on UK soil 🇬🇧 & nice to be flown by another pilot for a change!

@neilsexton659 Thank you, Sir. We just hope that we have inspired at least one veteran to seek out @wingswarriorsuk for the opportunity to become a professional pilot.

[Dr Tess Morris-Paterson @DrTessMP]

@field_army Thank you, Sir. We feel like we have encountered our fair share of adversity this trip, which will only make us stronger and more resilient next time, & hopefully we have inspired at least 1 veteran to apply to @wingswarriorsuk for the opportunity to become a professional pilot.
