Chevron Helps Pilot Make Aviation History

On June 27, 2007 Barrington Irving became the youngest person (at 23) and the first person of African descent to fly solo around the world. Chevron Global Aviation assisted Barrington every step of his journey. Our sponsorship began in 2005, while he was an employee for Miami Executive Aviation, a Chevron-branded Fixed Base Operator (FBO). We have provided support, including fuel and funds for training, and sponsored celebrations for him during his stay in Dubai and when he landed in Houston. "Barrington's focus on educating children, especially inner city and minority children about aviation, aligns well with our community outreach focus," noted Lanell Wallach, Manager, General Aviation Sales. "We are proud of what he has accomplished and are honored to be one of his title sponsors.”
