Strongly disagree. It’s merely a question of money, desire, and life circumstances. If I had the money, I’d be game to do it, but would want to be able to take my kids along, which would obviously complicate the trip a tad.Few on POA, of any age, could accomplish this.

It doesn't really irritate me, it just seems to me that with the proper advantages, it's not THAT difficult if you have the motivation and - let's be honest - the money - from Daddy or somewhere.And that seems to irritate some folks.

He won't get 10% of the press she got, because boy.The little brother is about to make it around too. www.macksolo.com I still think this is a dumb stunt.

Maybe he’ll meet Amelia.If he manages to fit in a recon flight for the Ukrainian Air Force along the way, he might. (Note that I am not suggesting such a stunt.)
Read about him on BBC online, and he was just on the CBS national news. I wasn't searching for the story.He won't get 10% of the press she got, because boy.
