the British Royal Air Force (RAF) when, in 1989, he was
diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. With his pilot's license
revoked because of his diabetes, Douglas left the RAF

United States medical license to fly solo privately by meeting
certain medical requirements. He obtained that license. 'Diabetes
World Flight' was born to show that it is possible for such pilots
to fly safely according to US FAA regulations. Douglas Cairns
flew around the world in 159 days, flying over 26,300 nautical
miles and visiting 22 countries. He is a living example that
diabetes does not have to limit the scope of our dreams.
