[I S I]

I have changed my message...you can check that though in the first place...I am 99% sure that she wouldn't read this post in her life time. PDF is a great forum but it ain't facebook or twitter. Here we all wallow in anonymity. Now since I have changed my comment, will others have the same moral courage to change their's too. If it was about me.

@Viper0011. Your post did not add value. We want the Western Tourists to come back like it used to be until the late 80s. These tourists will portray the real Pakistan after positive experiences.

My post didn't add value.....because I called out a post that was making Pakistan look bad in front of the globe reading that post??? You guys surprise me a LOT, specially when I see such lack of respect for the Westerners. If you REALLY want the Western tourists back (including myself), then, you should first create stability and tolerance in your culture.

Posts that I usually call out, are the one's where Pakistani members go so far out in their personal and political beliefs, that they make the entire country look bad, and, sort of make others agree with the Western media. If the post I called out was on BRK or any Israeli or Chinese forum, they would've deleted it right away.

It takes a LOT of effort to build a good image in front of others. It takes ONE small incident to destroy that reputation.

That was directed at the Rookie and not at you. Your posts are always positive. I just tagged you on it. My apologies if it came as negative. You are a gentleman and have good posts.

KARACHI: Tracey Curtis Taylor, an aviator and adventurer from New Zealand arrived at Gwadar in her vintage open cockpit biplane (1942 Boeing Stearman), on Monday, a PAF spokesman said here.


He said that on her arrival she was received by Squadron Leader Saira Batool, a lady pilot of Pakistan Air Force.

The PAF will host her during her short stay in Pakistan before departing for her next destination.

The 53 years old renowned aviation enthusiast started her journey from Farnborough (England) which will culminate in Sydney (Australia).

Tracey has undertaken this tour to pay homage to Amy Johnson and her epic solo flight to Australia in 1930.

Where possible, Tracey will be following Amy’s route and relive her dramatic adventures.

The route will take nearly 13,000 miles crossing 23 countries and 50 refueling stops before reaching Australia.

The flight is expected to take 12 to 14 weeks and she plans to arrive in Sydney (Australia) nearly 2016. – APP

Hopefully you will be arrive in Sydney new trip. And my best wishes with you.

In conversation: ‘I intend to return to Pakistan and spend more time here’
FROM THE NEWSPAPER — UPDATED 37 MINUTES AGO

She flies a green biplane and says that coming to Pakistan has been the highlight of her travels. Tracy Curtis-Taylor, who made two small stopovers in Gwadar and Karachi over the last three days, is on a tour of the world to honour and recreate famous woman aviator Amy Johnson’s 1930 solo flight.

Starting from England, she’s heading to Australia covering a distance of 13,000 miles passing through 23 countries in her biplane, a 1942 Boeing Stearman called the Spirit of Artemis, which is also accompanied by another slightly bigger support plane, a Pilatus PC-6 Porter, which has her documentary film crew. Shazia Hasan caught up with the pilot during her visit to Karachi for a brief chat.

Q. Can you share your impressions of Pakistan?

A. I had studied the maps but experiencing the landscape from above before landing here was something else. There is several hundred miles of rugged terrain. It is very different, very beautiful.

The people here are so welcoming. I wasn’t expecting such a big welcome and so much mention in your press, really. I don’t think I can ever forget the love I got here. It has been overwhelming. And to think I had been warned about the security situation in Pakistan. This is a very short visit. But I intend to return to Pakistan and spend more time here and also visit your northern areas. I understand the beauty of those places is unmatched.

Q. Did you meet many people here?

A. It is women I am really trying to meet wherever I go. I want to tell them my story and how I got here and how they can also find the key to their life as I did. I don’t come from a privileged background. I didn’t get to go to university. I started working early. At the age of 21, I was holding three jobs, including waitressing and working in a garage. But I had a dream and now I’m living it. So can others. I am a strong believer in women’s empowerment.

Q. Did you get to meet any Pakistani women pilots?

A. Yes, several. Actually, I was aware that there would be more frontline female pilots than airline or private pilots here. After I landed in Gwadar, my first stop in Pakistan, I met many female Air Force pilots, who were also keen to meet me. They came as a group in a C-130 Hercules. I met more women Air Force pilots in Karachi as well. We had an interesting exchange. We are kindred souls; some even shared my kind of wanderlust.

Q. And as they share a lot with you, you share Amy Johnson’s spirit of adventure?

A. Amy has been a big inspiration for me. Her courage was not just exemplary then in 1930 but now, too. She completed her round-the-world journey in 19 days, I will take far longer than that because I am also working on a documentary of my travels. Karachi was an important stop for Amy and it has turned out to be an important stop for me as well. It is the pinnacle of my travels.

Q. You seem to have a finger in every pie. Besides flying, mapping, aerial photography and an interest in old and classic cars, your biodata includes things such as valuing diamonds and camping in jungles and deserts. After accomplishing this task is there anything else left?

A. Why, writing about my adventures of course!
