A nice gesture Jetblu but it would take a lot of time for crowdfunding to get her there.

What her campaign really needs is a major sponsor such as Artemis who sponsored TCT.

Of course it would be nice to think they were impartial and prepared to sponsor another more honest solo event but I suspect that would destroy an image they have created with Tracey.

Amanda really needs a generous corporate sponsor although the cost of the trip is mainly fuel,clearance and accomodation compared to the TCT entourage.

The Daily Mail gave a prize of £10,000 to Amy Johnson which is around £600k these days.


As for the endurance of the DH Tiger Moth...is it not similar to that of Jason?
