Congratulations Carol Ann & your copilot Ms. Foy: As an old Bomber pilot in USAF for 20 years , rewtired Electrical & Project Engineer, and now ( last 10 years a fellow Mooney pilot in CAP and EAA/Young Eagles, we are compatriots. I congratulate you both on the fine fund raising mission you undertook, and really think your sterling accomplishment is beyond words. I have attended your power point trip presentation three times already, and look forward to hearing & seeing it again in late June in St. Louis, MO. Your tenaicity and detailed planning of every aspect of your grueling journey around the world in such great speeds with such efficient use of fuel is astounding. I hope to help you in some small way in your ALS fund raising again in June. Your South American trip sounds every bit as exacting as your trip around the globe in 2008. Stay safe & may you enjoy smooth tailwinds wherever you venture.
Frank Szachta/Major USAF (ret); Major CAP (ret); EAA/YE Pilot/EAA-180 & EAA-32; CFII and ATP

Congratulations and an incredible feat. My husband and I heard Carolann's presentation at OSH last year and have read your book - WOW! Carol... I met you originally at an Austin 99's mtg and then stood next to you at OSH last year for the pic of women pilots. Was hoping to see you both this year at OSH - were you there? My San Antonio 99's will be meeting with the EAA chapter in Oct to hear your presentation... we can't wait!!! You are amazing women "making a difference"!

I was at your event at the Sanford Lee County Regional Airport (TTA) and was amazed at how you accomplished your goal. The legs of 15+ hours amazed me the most and also inspired me. Your doing a great thing and I hope one day I can achieve something of this magnitude.

CA,
You never cease to amaze me. Congratualtions on an incredible journey and raising such an amount of money. My sister in law just passed away a couple of months ago from the same disease.
Again, you are a saint in disguise.

CarolAnn, Does this mean there will be a "Upon Silver Wings II" ?
If so, let me know I really enjoyed reading your last book.
I'm not much of a reader but I couldn't put your book down, I was pulled into the adventure and could not wait to hear about your next stop.
Have a safe trip..

CarolAnn and Carol,
I had the most amazing time following your absolutely brilliant flight around the world. I admire both of you so much and am so proud of you for all that you have accomplished. AOPA and others that could have covered this truly awesome flight, really let us down with their lack of coverage of this record breaking event. I can't wait for your book to come out, and will be sending several copies to those who can't wait to read all the details. Congratulations.

Congratulations on your historic flight! I am interested in purchasing your book, CD, etc. when they are available.
I also happen to be program chairman for our Kiwanis Club for the month of June 2009. We meet at noon on Fridays - Our meeting area holds approximately 100 people. Would it be possible for one of you to present a program at one of the Friday meetings. Remuneration should not be a problem and I am sure many of the members would be interested in purchasing items such as mentioned above.
Sincerely,
Keith Knorr

I am amazed that you two could handle the potential fatique problem so well. You obvious ability to get enough rest to be able to concentrate on the task at hand was amazing, to say the least! I felt pretty confident that the airplane and all its equipment would be reliable enough to allow you to succeed, especially since you either replaced or overhauled all systems before departure . Your highly detailed preparation really paid off, and this probably went a long way towards giving you your ability to break the record. We're all so proud of your record, and I frankly feel that it will probably stand for a long time. May you go a long way towards your goals to raise the money for ALS.
Godspeed,

CarolAnn & Carol,
Welcome back to the good ole USA! I really enjoyed tracking your trek around the world and learned some geography myself! You two are amazing! What a test in endurance. You are very focused and determined on your ultimate goal--that is raising $$$ for ALS research! Hope you\'re rested now and got some real food! Happy Holidays, Sandy
