Patient
to Pilot

Diagnosed with Crohn's disease at fourteen, Byron Waller refused to let chronic illness write his flight plan. By fourteen he had become the youngest pilot to circumnavigate Australia.

A year later, at fifteen, he flew around the world in a four-seat Sling TSi, the youngest person in history to pilot a plane around the globe. 39 legs. 5 continents. 19 countries. One teenager flying for the millions of young people living quietly with invisible illness.
