Bertrand Piccard nomination for the HGAP Masters Medal
I would like to nominate Bertrand Piccard for the amazing voyage of Solar Impulse.
Bertrand Piccard and Andre Borschberg (Solar Impulse) have already been awarded the Master's Medal!
Whilst the flight round the world is far from complete, the most recent leg, a remarkable and innovative record breaking flight - a feat of flying, courage, incredible human endeavour and adventure - to land safely in Hawaii earlier this year is, on its own, a tremendous achievement, and an accomplishment to be recognised and applauded. The two pilots, Bertrand Piccard and Andre Borschberg, through their skill, tenacity and endurance have already achieved so much.
In recognition of the innovation, endeavour, teamwork, airmanship, organisation and management demonstrated by this round the world solar-powered flight, the crew members of Solar Impulse are awarded the Master’s Medal.
Master's Medal 2015
That was Piccard's second Master's Medal.
Brian Jones and Bertrand Piccard (Breitling Orbiter 3) were awarded the MM in 1999.
Doesn't it ever occur to you to check the facts before you sound off?
