The Earhart story is always hilarious because, like most famous women through history, she was entirely propped up by her husband and literally wouldn't be shit with his constant support and money.
She wasn't even close to the first to do what she did, other women had her beat. She is only famous because she managed to die while doing it in a "mysterious" way.
It would actually be cheaper and safer for me to drive through Russia at this point, fuck no. All I'd need to do is behave myself in Russia and then I can get to wherever I need to go if it really came down to it.
This is really not at all true and you need to understand life in Russia is incredibly brutal.
A small example, when I lived there my friends would go to a small stall by the metro selling rotisserie chicken. One night we bought chicken for dinner, the next morning walking to the metro we saw his stall was bulldozed. He clearly had no warning.
Bribes are expected for any interaction, even basic registration stuff and life is cheap there. There's a reason most men there drink themselves to death, it's softer than living.
Fair enough, though frankly I don't see how that's much different from America going after children's lemonade stands, arguably it's worse because it's fucking children. I get the whole grass is greener mentality can be dangerous but at the same time Conservatives do this kind of crap constantly especially in the UK lately and we just laugh at it. It's a case of "Trust us! If you vote Labour it will get so much worse!" as if they hadn't been fucking the country up for the past 14 or so years.
I get Russia is absolutely not the ideal tourist destination, I'm just thinking of potentially using it as a pass through essentially to maybe get to other countries and avoid the middle east.
Yeah, I figured you knew it was hyperbole but others may not. A kid lemonade stand getting shut down sucks, but it's not destroying the child's livelihood. Having your business bulldozed overnight with all your belongings is infinitely worse.
Russia is a poor choice for "passing through", logistically and geographicly - especially since I think for you it's coming from UK which means you pass through most of Europe first.
Perhaps consider like your ancestors - take to the seas and make for the Caribbean? I have heard British virgin islands are more British than Britain.
It's looking like hilariously learning to fly really is probably going to be a better option for me if I want to think on that scale which is just ridiculous.
Cesna's are where it's at for private flying allegedly, I was doing some casual research on it in a what if scenario. For now though I suppose I'll have my sights on a euro road trip of some kind at a minimum.
"All-female takeover of the skies to celebrate women’s contribution to aviation industry"
Such contributions as:
Amelia Earhart crashing and dying.
Bessie Coleman falling out of her plane.
Kara Hultgreen crashing her F-14 during a routine training mission.
Marina Raskova killing herself and her crew trying to land.
And so many more!

Earhart's death is a meme. Something about her corpse being pulled apart and eaten by coconut crabs.
Several of these women were down to earth.
But at least they're Brave
At some point this is going to spur growth of charter or fractional private flights where you know or get a profile of the captain before you go.
Then again that's exactly what Kobe Bryant did.
nigga slam dunked his helicopter into a whole ass building

A friend of mine is in the stages of getting's his pilot's license for private flying.
All I can say is, good luck...
Unless you are flying a Boeing max!
Is assembling your own plane an option? Lol
