Checklist Charlie - I did have a look and other than a whiner called Sam Rutherford there's nothing much to see there that's not here.

Just finished reading the bio of Charles Kingsford Smith - truly amazing. Primitive navigation, no radar and no internet. There is no doubt that this trip 100 years later is not a fraction of the difficulty that it was then but it is still a damn fine achievement if accomplished in any piston engined aircraft, especially a slow and cold Stearman.

The thing is, as is so often the case, it's very easy for whiney little people who achieve very little to find some way of knocking those who do, or try to. That is what is so offensive about the likes of Sam Rutherford and cowl flap. Rather than wasting energy tapping into a keyboard finding ways to slag off at others why not get off your arse and actually do something significant?

PS: Don't know this pilot lady from a bar of soap but good on her.
