solo....que?
If Tracy claims that she has done the UK -Oz solo then there should have only been ONE pob from start to finish. Right ?
NO ifs or buts re pax, crew wanting a jolly leg or whatever. ALONE. SOLO.
Had she hand flown, navigated, dodged the wx, planned, got clearances did running maintenance and etc all on her own then I'd say it was solo.
As it was...a great trip, plenty of back up and financial assistance, 2nd aircraft for any help, air to air pics and video (all good for a doco) Not a cheap trip, but the doco etc will recoup some $$s no doubt.
So she...and all the others did the Amy Johnson route.
Good on her (and them). Fantastic experience for all concerned.
But imho it aint SOLO, as in Amy, Hinkler, Chichester and many, many others.
