SD teen home after flight around the world
A teen that may have become the youngest person to fly solo around the world has returned home to South Dakota.
KELO-TV reports that 19-year-old Matt Guthmiller flew into Aberdeen on Friday.
Guthmiller completed the more than 29,000-mile journey in a single-engine airplane on July 14 when he touched down in California.
Guthmiller made about two dozen stops in 14 countries during the journey that began May 31.
The Massachusetts Institute of Technology engineering student won't have too much time to enjoy home. He leaves Sunday for an event in Wisconsin but plans be in Aberdeen throughout the summer.
