For UNF grad, a solo flight to South America with supplies for children, memory of father [The Florida Times-Union]
In August, Lee Giat drove to South Florida to see the plane he’s calling the “Spirit of Science” for the first time.
Giat, a 22-year-old graduate of the University of North Florida, went with a documentary crew to film a crowdfunding video for his latest project an ambitious adventure that involves flying a single-engine plane from Jacksonville to South America, landing at numerous spots during a 30-day journey, delivering educational supplies and inspiration to children.
While back in South Florida, where he grew up, Giat stayed with his dad.
