Sorry, but that's wrong too. A record is a record if you document it to a
sufficient level that it can be verified. Whether or not the person chooses
to submit it to the FAI does not change that. An "FAI Record" is only such
if it is recognized by the FAI. Two different statements.


Nonsense!

Based on what you've just claimed, and considering the liars and frauds
that Jim Campbell hangs with, associates with, does business with and
attacks others with, he can sit in his office, get his friends
together, and set speed and altitude records from his chair behind his
desk and they'll happily verify those records for him because
"cheating" and "fraud" are what Campbell and his
friends/associates/business partners are all about, particularly in the
RRL. and at the Reno "Invitational" National Championship Air Races.

That's why we have the FAI and the NAA, among others...to prevent
cheating by prissy little schoolgirls like Campbell, with the FAI and
the NAA primarily serving to document with recording equipment, timing,
trained officials, and public event witnesses, all legitimate record
attempts, then to "certify" the record on behalf of the World and/or
the United States. It all boils down to a matter of trust between
countries, just like it boils down to trust between individuals and
groups, and any Group that backs Jim Campbell is suspect, because Jim
Campbell is a liar and a skunk of the lowest order (or odor, if you
prefer...), and no record claim by him not monitored by the FAI or the
NAA is worth the notepad he's written his claims on.

We have these groups specifically to verify and certify records, and
only recognize those records monitored by these groups because they
(FAI/NAA) can be trusted, overseen, and beyond that, exist because
liars and frauds like Jim Campbell exist in Aviation, and for that
matter, Journalism. That's their whole purpose...to thwart false
claims that undermine legitimate claims by others to the records they
hold. It's like Campbell claiming he's a "Vietnam Veteran." According
to what the US Air Force says, he didn't last but something like six
months, and never stepped foot in Vietnam.

Also, submitting records to the FAI after the fact, without the FAI
being present for the event, to monitor, oversee, verify and certify
the event...that's no record. That's a waste of time that will only be
recognized as such. Campbell's records are about as notable as
Campbell lighting one of his farts...

Campbell claims to be a "Vietnam Veteran," takes away from those who
served and are legitimate Vietnam Veterans. Campbell claiming to have
set records in Aerospace that he has not, takes away from those who
hold the records legitimately.

Campbell is nothing more than a fraud, a liar, along the lines of the
individual who ran into the Olympic Stadium in Los Angeles, claiming
victory in the Marathon, though he hadn't run the 26 miles, and though
the guy immediately behind him did and was the actual winner. Confused
the crowd, and caused that fraud to steal the applause, the laurels and
the glory, from the victor. From the true champion.

Campbell is lying filth and needs out of Aviation and Journalism. He
needs to be in a Federal Penitentiary for all the criminal misconduct
he has committed against others.

His day is coming, mark my words on that!
