Ewald was certainly in the front seat landing in Australia.

I am not surprised they were detained in Indonesia. TCT freely admitted she has has frequently flow very low and outside the parameters of what could be called reasonable piloting.

The Africa trip saw her admonished for flying in a prohibited zone.

It is remarkable that the Honourable Company of Air Pilots chose her to deliver the Alan Cobham lecture.
He must have turned in his grave.

I am amazed three pilots could not manage to keep on track and outside restricted areas.

The confusion regarding who own the aircraft was raised by this paragraph.
Moreover, for most flights on the 2015/6 expedition to Australia she was accompanied by the aircraft's owner, Ewald Gritsch, a 20,000 hour instructor
