What puzzles me is how pretty much all of the major aviation societies are ignoring the fact that the global press were misled in to printing this fake news story.
Which in turn led to the awards.
I fail to see what TCT has achieved for women in aviation apart from proving it can be easily done with a good bloke up front and bucket loads of sponsors money.
She may have a passion for biplanes in much the same way I have a passion for travel and nice hotels but let's face it ....we all do if someone else picks up the bill.
Has anyone in these societies ever asked her to justify the solo claims on youtube or the the solo backdrop to her speeches?
I must say I find that UN Geneva speech promo highly amusing. While it promotes her solo flights it also displays commercial pilot Ewald up front hiding from the press when they landed in Sydney.
