If you're going to publicize yourself either with a public fly by, on YouTube or by posting stories on an Internet discussion board, then you are guaranteed to get negative remarks. Don't want any negative remarks, then don't publicize the event/comment/story. Just human nature in the world wide web age. Be confident that what you did brought good coverage of "little" airplanes and awareness of breast cancer. That was what you intended to accomplish.
And as for those who suggest not spending YOUR money on an airplane. Just look at Western society today. There's a pervasive mentality that what's yours is not yours - it's the village's! It's insane in my opinion. But it's where the country is heading.
As for the comments about this cancer or that, I did hear a talk radio personality mentioning "pink saturation" or something to that effect the other day. Just passing along a related comment as this is an Internet discussion board!

As my dear old Dad loves to say..."Some people would complain if you hung 'em with a new rope".

I can tell you this...
Several guys have walked by my desk while checking out the pictures (fighter buddies, TOPGUN staff, etc), and all of us are thoroughly impressed. Nice job guys.
In the mean time

Face Book is a waste of my time, I seldom go there. Seems like people live at the site including many knuckle heads with no real life.
Consider the source Axel, their comments are like bird poop and will wash away with next rain. No substance or staying power whatever.

You could stand on a busy corner handing out 100 dollar bills and someone will still find something to complain about. Keep your head up.

For the past several years I've been involved with setting up the an annual aircraft display day here at work. A bunch of us employee aircraft owners fly our airplanes in and display them in conjuction with a company car show.
Amazingly enough, feedback after the fact revealed complaints from some people that "...it was the same old airplanes every year..."
This is from our fellow employees...
...At a major aerospace company!
Haters gonna hate!

That reminds me of a Top Gear episode where the guys from England came over to Miami and bought three $1000 beaters and drove them to New Orleans. There they proceeded to give the cars away to people who had none.
I was surprised and a bit irate at all the bitching and moaning that went on because they didn't given away cars that were new and perfect! 
Good job guys! The flyover was beautiful. I hope to join one of these days.

Such is life on the tip of the spear (or arrowhead....).
