Someone is giving this clown a Columbia 400 to crash in a God foresaken place.

He will be the First African American to fly around the world! No one else anywhere has ever done it, being an African American! It is a HISTORIC mission!

N400QW said:Recently some irrational folks have alleged that Barrington Irving, Experience Aviation and even Eaglesoft Development Group are misleading the general public in regards to the World Tour 2006.
We are pleased to present an answer to such irrational allegations.
Any reasonable person should have taken the time to perform due diligence and basic research prior to making ill-formed and potentially libelous statements:
http://www.southfloridacaribbeannews.com/story.asp?ID=968
The article begins:
"Miami - When 22 year-old Barrington Irving embarks on his solo world tour in September of this year, he would have been the youngest aviator and first African American to accomplish this task.
Irving, a Jamaican national, is presently an aeronautical science major at Florida Memorial College, Miami, with a 3.7 cumulative grade point average. He is a recipient of the Florida Memorial/US Air Force Flight Awareness Scholarship and the Florida Bright Future Bright Scholarship. He has postponed summer graduation to pursue detailed planning for the historic venture through his organization “Experience Aviation” and website at www.experienceaviation.org.
Irving has already raised nearly 60% of his expected $1 million budget which included acquiring the aircraft for the historic mission.
The aircraft, a Lancair Columbia 400, was donated by Seamech International Incorporated of Bellaire, Texas, and was especially configured in Oregon. The single engine aircraft is likened to the ‘Ferrari of small aircrafts’ because of its very sophisticated features, including a state-of-the-art traffic data programming and electronic charts replacing the traditional cockpits."
Now, I am reasonably certain that Seamech International Inc. of Bellaire, Texas would not have donated such an expensive aircraft to a "scam-artist," nor would any of the following organizations have allowed themselves to be flim-flammed:
"So far, supporters included several aviation-related industry partners, the title sponsor being the Miami Executive Aviation at Opa Locka Airport who offered Irving office space and directions in marketing, basically setting the stage for his approach to begin formulating his plan in an effort to successfully and safely accomplish his mission. Others were Avidyne Corporation, Teledyne Continental Motors, S-Tec Corporation, Oregon Aero Incorporated, Precise Flight, Inc., Kelly Aerospace Thermal Systems, Goodyear Aviation and LightSPEED Aviation, Chevron and ExxonMobil, Artisan Aircraft, Hartzell Propeller, Aerographics, Scheme Designers - all providing additional equipment for the aircraft.
Monetary contributions have so far come from the Miami Dade Board of Commissioners, Miami Dade Aviation Department, Community Bank, the local chapter of National Black Coalition of Federal Aviation Employees, Tuskegee Airmen and individual contributors. Flightline and Perrone companies donated the flight gears.
With enthusiasm, Irving fervently continues to reach his goal by seeking other interested sponsors for the $350,000 needed to complete his goal."
I'm also reasonably certain that Experience Aviation would not have been the lead-in at the "Thunder Over Louville" airshow this past weekend, were this a mere act of chicanery...
