Which military forum would you suggest? Maybe a few of us can join and enlighten them

This from the Singapore Airlines magazine

It has been an amazing journey and MANDY LIM BEITLER has loved following the adventures of the daring aviator in her solitary flight from UK to Australia. We’ve finally reached its finale.
January 11, 2016

Tracey Curtis-Taylor has done it! Following in the slipstream of pioneer Amy Johnson, she has flown about 21,000km across 23 countries since taking off from Farnborough in the UK on October 1, 2015, and successfully touched down in her destination of Sydney, Australia on January 9, 2016.

Single-handedly piloting her vintage green open-cockpit Boeing Stearman biplane across three continents, her flight plan included a total of 50 stops along the way. These allowed for necessary refuelling and rest breaks, as well as for Curtis-Taylor to meet and greet all manner of fans and fellow aviation enthusiasts. This huge adventure has also enabled her to raise awareness for the causes she champions, which run the gamut from providing support for the disabled to wildlife and environmental conservation.
