T-C-T has made a serious error in judgement in how she prepared and followed up with the whole "event".
Q & A with Tracey Curtis Taylor - Features - Pilot
"If you hadn’t been flying solo, who would have been your ideal co-pilot?
Although this was primarily a solo flight, certainly at the outset, I often took members of the crew and sponsors with me in the Stearman for reasons of expediency or indeed just so that they could share the experience."
The more you delve into her egotistical life you find she is the archetypal "Walter Mitty".
All I ask is that she hands back her "honorary" awards (RAF Wings, RN 2 1/2 ringer uniform, degrees etc.)
