Think I lost my first reply to the oort cloud, alas. The short version
follows:

Press Release: We are going to fly around world. We need $200M to do
this. We have $8K in seed money from the county seat. We have made
contact with certain well-known aviation organizations to establish our
credibility. Please send a check to feed our favorite vices: hyperbole
and hubris. BTW, we're pretty good glider pilots, so there's at least a
slight chance we might pull this off, but only if we get lots of money
in hand.

If the scheme is grand enough, I guess it's news, not fraud.

Nice job if you can get it. At the very least, I'd be interested to see
the team's plan.

That'll be $50k, please
