Im not sure if you're being sarcastic here, but lets assume not. Therefore, you would be absolutely correct, it is a tenacious endeavor tackling Chinese bureaucracy, but surely NOT "aviation derring-do". Private pilot students have to do more in a solo cross-country during their initial flight training than that.

If you want to see aviation hero's, go look at some video of the good-guys in Afghanistan helping the Taliban get to their 72 virgins in a hurry.
