Feedback after achieving the second part of Worldflight, Africa:

Congratulations on an adventure to cherish all your lives.How did you damage your aircraft?
I have photos of the old car wreck at Solitaire, and climbed the red sand-dunes at Soussusvlei , and climbed into the Fishriver canyon, magic moments!
My A/c is flying well and has flown over 90 hours (R.V.7) (Patrick D.)

... your photography look fascinating. I would be happy to answer any questions you have about flying in the US. (Rob D.)

It is a wonderful adventure what you are attempting, flying with
Gyro's around the world and filming it.
Read a very nice passage in flying book, wanted to share it with you.

"All pilots should have the opportunity to learn from other pilots mistakes,
because they'll never live long enough to make them all themselves.
There is comfort in that, whether you are a pilot or not, for the underlying
message is that flying brings out the best in people. There is a certain
equality among those who dare to rise from the ground ; It brings people
together, and when you can understand that, you learn to love it, too !" (Marcel v.d.M.)

Feedback after the accident in Africa:

I am really sorry to hear about the accident and I do hope will find a way to go further with this project. Some lines that I read to myself when I run into some challenges in my life:

Until one is committed, there is hesitancy,
the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness.

Concerning all acts of initiative,
there is one elementary truth,
the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and endless plans:

That the moment one definitely commits oneself,
then providence moves, too.

All sorts of things occur to help one
that would never otherwise have occurred.

A whole stream of events issues from the decision,
raising in ones favor all manner of
unforeseen incidents and meetings and
material assistance which no man
could have dreamed would come his way.

Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it!
Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it.

~ Goethe, a great German thinker and author. (Kim G.)

Feedback after Jamesflight in Europe:

Very good to hear news from you and your trip and especially that all is well.

Times are quite difficult but in a strange way I think the timings have been kind to us. I hope you are right and everyone becomes a little less nervous and precautious so things in the world can move forward. There are far more worrying things in the world such as poverty, climate change, loss of wildlife, disease. I think the developed world needs to realise we are very fortunate with the lives we lead.

Africa is a place which highlights the comment I have made above. It is so exciting to hear you will be flying over Africa and viewing it from above. ...

I believe the African part of your journey will be the most satisfying part of your childhood dream! ...

Once again, take care and look forward to catching more news/videos on your site. (Chris T.)
