quote Robin
I hear what you are saying and his feat on the Australian flight and now the African trip does deserve some recognition
However, flying a Permit Cub into an International airport at night, flying with a smidgen of oil, flying from the UK to Australia without a valid PtF, etc etc though fascinating to watch is not necessarily how we want to GA pilots to be seen.
Colin Hales is flying a permit aircraft around the world and is now stuck at Niigata airport in Japan with paperwork hassles.
Are you suggesting permit aircraft should stick to just UK flying?
