C'mon. How much more aviation can you get? The guy whines just as much as any turbine.

Steve Hinton would have been my first choice on the day they came up with the award. Impressive gentleman.

Sounds like they used the wrong definition of legend…

a story coming down from the past
especially : one popularly regarded as historical although not verifiable

What about the guy who parachuted from his plane on YouTube and lost his license? That’s pretty legendary.

The rest of the list should be retitled “most famous people who once flew or owned a plane”.

So is Jeffrey Epstein on there? Because THAT is a famous plane.
