    Dear Friends,

    I want to take this moment to recognize my father on Father’s Day. I am grateful to have a caring father who has truly instilled great values in me and always made our family his top priority. I am fortunate to have such a loving father and hope that one day I can be as great a Dad as he is. Both my mom and dad always wanted the best for me and from me. I will NEVER forget the late nights my dad worked doing construction and every dollar sacrificed for my education.  Now that I am a man, I am truly grateful for every sacrifice they have made for me and my younger brothers. I wish I could be home with the family and I miss you all dearly. Happy Father’s Day, Dad!!!

    Your Son,
    Barrington

    Barrington....i first heard about you from a friend of mine who just got married to a pilot & moved to Dubai. She always loves to big up phenomenal Jamaicans...and so , turning on the TV  on Wednesday morning &  seeing reports of your landing, my heart was filled with pride, that a YOUNG Jamaican could set his mind to acheiving such gretaness, and to accomplish it, with God at your side. I got goose pimples....you are truly a phenomenal young man. Reading your website & blogs has convinced me even moreso. I just felt it necessary to say HEARTY CONGRATULATIONS!!!...and as my msn messenger said on Wednesday..."well done Barrington...WELL DONE!!!"

    Gemma,
    I did not read about your flight until today. But, it was like Yes Lord!!! To see a young brother doing what you have done, restores my
    faith in our young people. Not all of them are walking around with the pants hanging down to their, you know. Some do have dreams and are acting on them in powerful, mighty, way. You are a outstanding young Black man, doing a outstanding thing. May God Bless you and your family and tell your dad, He has done a tremendous job, raising a wall destroying, barrier breaking young man. A Torch barer!!! Again, God Bless you and have a safe trip home.

    I almost forgot to ask....   What did you think about while you were flying across that much ocean?!?!  I've flown on some long solo flights over land in both day and night, but I just cannot imagine the solitude of such a flight over vast areas of water.  Did you have a horizon the entire time or was there a period of no differentiation between water and sky?  I do hope you write a book with answers to such questions!
     
    Take care and safe flying,

    Hi there, Barrington!  My mom has been keeping me informed on your amazing flight!  If you ever make the trip again and would like a co-pilot, PLEASE keep me (and thousands of others, I'm sure) in mind!!!  I truly wish you could alter your course farther south into AZ or NV.  I would love to meet a fellow pilot who shares a similar passion for adventure and aviation!  At the present time, I am a flight instructor in north-western AZ, however, I look forward to applying to the airlines in the next couple months or so. 
     
    I will continue to follow your flight and, if it is possible, I hope to meet you one day.  Perhaps if a day off and a C-172 are available at the same time, I can fly to CO or TX when you fly through.  You are such an inspiration to many (myself included)!!!!
     
    Clear Skies!

    Wow. That was such a lovely message. I'm keeping a close eye on your flight and I'm tracking it every chance that I get. I'm sure your father is grateful to have a son such as yourself. We are all very proud. God has blessed you in many ways Barrington. He has given you the strength and courage to embark on this history making voyage. I think it's great! Take it easy..
