Vicki Van Meter, 12, of Meadville, Penn., landed in Augusta yesterday after the first leg of what she hopes will be a record-setting flight across the Atlantic. Van Meter and flight instructor Curt Arnspiger plan to leave Augusta today for Newfoundland, and will fly across the ocean on Monday. The flight path is similar to one taken by Amelia Earhart when she became the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic in 1932.
