Gosh Terry you are certainly wearing a very rosy coloured pair of spectacles,you really do need to read the whole thread thoroughly as most of the contributors are articulate,experienced,intelligent,honest,professional aviators.They are unanimous in their belief that the TCT's of this world lack the integrity required to be highly regarded in aviation.Aviators can be a bit precious sometimes but those that deserve the accolades put in an incredible amount of effort and shear hard work to achieve their goals and therefore warrant the recognition.TCT's well orchestrated stunts are worthy of nothing.....going on an Antarctic cruise would hardly put me in Shackleton's league.
