Inspirational RTW complete

Hats off to Hank and Gary (and all the 'Inspiration' team, including a lot of 'youngsters') for successfully building an aircraft, getting CAD approval, and flying it around the world. Sure, people have done this type of thing before, but to be the first to build and register an aircraft in HK with a practically non-existent GA scene is a big deal and deserves full credit. CX and HX provided help and assistance, but you can be sure that it was a hard sell before the project gained some momentum.

Inspirational? In what way? I don't feel particularly inspired.

However, a very big Well done to Henk and the team. Great achievement.

Probably an inspiration to the school kids who built sections of the aircraft, and maybe dream of a career in aviation.

Yeah good one. Then they will come onto Pprune for a little advice only to be inspired to become an office bod instead.
