Depart Brisbane
I’m Byron Waller, a 15-year-old teen pilot with Crohn’s disease. This August, I’ll be departing from Brisbane Airport to begin my supervised world flight.
This isn’t just about flying - it’s about proving that even with challenges, you can chase big dreams. Along the way, I’ll visit schools and communities to share a message of resilience, hope, and what’s possible when you don’t give up.
Join me as I take off from Brisbane to inspire kids everywhere.
