Perhaps this thread's concentration on the main actor really misses the correct target
TCT is a fair target of this thread because she's supposed to be one of us - a pilot with honour. She has missed the mark badly. It would have been honourable, even after throwing out the word "solo" everywhere, to come clean and state what really happened, and who supported the venture how.
It's great for aviation to have antique aircraft safely flown on extra long distance adventure flights, it fuels interest in our industry - until the lies and misrepresentation become the point of the interest, rather than the honourable piloting.
It's probably too late now for TCT to save her pride by honouring up, but you never know... In the mean time, she has made herself a target by weasling about this with Wiki changes, and continued public presentations which are not entirely truthful.
