I am so immensely delighted by your truly awesome achievement and more so that you are all back in one piece. Many MANY congratulations from a very proud owner of a Parajet Paramotor built by the one and only Gilo...! All best. James

Congratulations Bear & Gilo on your mission success :D! I'm so glad everything went well & you got back to earth safely. I can only imagine what it must feel like to not only have climed Everest but flown above it in the open air, higher than anyone has ever been. I've been reading "Facing Up" for about the 10th time (!) in between revision for my Uni finals and cannot wait to step foot on the Everest slopes myself. I'm sure you are desperate to get home to your family and I very much look forward to your next book...! Take care, Tom

Congratulations to Bear, Gilo, and the entire GKN Team on the success of your mission. We can't wait to hear the first hand account of this historic event from Kyle and watch the entire event on the Discovery Channel. Alot of prayers were answered

CONGRATULATIONS to all concerned. Well done, how very exciting! See you back in Blighty with a bottle of champagne and a regular oxygen supply.

Good luck, Bear! Been following your news for a while. Wanna wish you all the best, and may your guardian angel be watching over you.

You've done it!!!!! Congratulations to you and the team on such a fantastic, unbelievable achievement! Hope you enjoyed the view!!
