Heard an interview with the guy on BFBS here in Germany last weekend... had the excitement of a little boy in his voice. Who cares that he didnt use the 'correct' aviation terminology, we all know he's not a pilot, surely this has no relevance. Maybe the 'less educated' folk should google him. The guys an adventurer, motivational speaker he raises funds... damn good fellow by the sounds of him.

What a great experience for him.. but what I cant understand is why you guys critisise a story highlighting someones acheivement and personal goals, especially this guy who seems to have an unbelieveable drive to acheive things even us fully sighted folk will never acheive!

I admire the guy and am happy for him... whilst he's up there acheiving his goals and having a damn good time he's surely giving inspiration to other less able bodied folk!

Keep up the good work
