Well I can confirm that TCT is most certainly flying the Stearman again. Just heard some ATC chat from Santa Monica. 30 seconds ...a mis-read back of QNH went unchallenged by ATC. It was a 600'+ error too. Heading towards other traffic that had the sense to get out of the way. A couple more missed calls and I gave up.

I know that hearing ATC in an open cock-pit (sic), stick and rudder biplane can be tricky and do give her some leeway on that but equally I can see how she would drive any sane ATCO round the bend.

I wish her a safe flight but if she starts spouting crap again she can expect to be challenged on it.
