Maybe you guys should do your next good deed on behalf of the Wounded Warriors instead. You won't hear those guys whining about anything...

No pleasing everyone!
In a perfect world everyone would donate to every cause. In paradise there would be no cause that you would need to donate to. Most people support in their own way to the causes that are most important to them. Continue to do what is best for you and do what you can. I?m sure the people that you have touched in some way either big or small really appreciate it.

It was awesome
It was awesome and was the best sign of cancer awareness I have seen.
I also have shared those videos with many people and the response has been all positive. Non-aviators very impressed with the flying skill and the purpose.
As for the complainers, reminds me of Christmas Vacation after Clark decorated his house for the family and the father-in-law says, "Clark, the little lights aren't twinkling."

You know what was rated as the most angry website? Twitter..
For those that don't know, Youtube is going to great lengths to write code that will simplify the censorship process. Much of it automatic. Expect many other social sites to transform in a similar way. Then you'll see the "uncensored" counter parts show up. Crazy..
P.S.
Made it on Wired.com today!

Ditto what Don says AX!! Those idiots want you to work for them and give THEM your money. Typical stuff.

Long ago when a particularly tough and problem ridden turbine development program had turned the corner and was well on the way to meeting all the goals, we had a celebration gathering. When the leader made a heart felt speech thanking all the team, there was wide support and agreeable comments, but there was one guy who just pounded the project with some very negative comments. It rolled off most, but afterward, I talked to the leader. I was a young engineer and he obviously had more experience. He said every project is difficult, that is the nature of doing something better than before. There is always someone who does not feel part of the success and, they way he put it, "wants to throw a turd in the punch bowl at the victory party". I have never understood how to completely neutralize this, but in the decades that followed, was never surprised when it happened again.
Congratulations on this huge team success, be rightly proud of the accomplishment and the cause for which it stands. Don't let the small minded taint the feeling. They are always there. Lurking.

Absolutely Stunning
Axel, you guys did it right!
Remember, some people will come up on a river flowing beer and b#%ch if there are no pretzel trees.
They are small minded people.
