what he was up to by the website team. So here is the low down and a word of warning: look out for Lucky Lady Too some day soon
in an airport near you - and before you read Bob's full reply, take a deep breath and eat your heart out.

CarolAnn Garratt has flown around the world in a Mooney before.
This time, she is taking a co-pilot and aiming to break the round-the-world record for single-engine aircraft, by making the flight start-to-finish in just seven days.
Garratt and teammate Carol Foy, a past winner of the Air Race Classic, plan to launch this December. They are paying all of their own expenses,
but hope the world flight will raise $1 million for ALS research. From AVweb
Good luck!
