his so-called record is not recognized by Guinness.

In the US a few years ago, a fifteen or so girl tried to be the
youngest to fly a plane to all 48 states. She, the licenced instructor
along to make it legal, and her father all died when they gambled with
the weather. I don't understand this compulsion to be the least
qualified to do something. Can't say I care for doing risky things
just to impress Guiness, for that matter. They died trying to be the
subject of barroom bets.
