Sam,
TCT has made the following statement on her website :-
"In planning the expedition through Africa in 2013 there was an initial hope of a solo flight in the beautiful & original 1942 Boeing Stearman.
However, in the early stages of the flight this concept was intentionally and officially dropped as I and the Bird in a Biplane Team brought our flight planning and logistics increasingly in-house"
A question for you, if I may. At what point during your involvement with the BiaB project was that decision made, as far as you are aware ? Was it before you got involved, was it while you were still "carrying her bags", or was it after "the Bird in a Biplane Team brought our flight planning and logistics increasingly in-house" as she puts it ?
Thanks
