A 2022 feature that reached over three million people — the single most-viewed post in the early life of our community. These are the ten voices that carried it.
One post. Over three million reached. In 2022 we asked the ten most-engaged aerospace and aviation professionals on LinkedIn a single question: which of your posts performed best, and why? Their answers became the most-shared feature in the early history of TOP 100. We republish it here — verbatim, in their own words — as a record of reach.

Reached over 3 million people — top 1% of LinkedIn posts at the time.
It’s amazing how one little post reached over 3 million and inspired so many women and men to follow their dream. LinkedIn says it was in their top 1% of posts at the time.

One warbird photo is worth a million stories. This one post had 1,734,193 impressions, 29,100 reactions. I had 24,676,618 impressions in the last 365 days, but any post that gets someone to respond is a success!

384,867 views.
My most successful post was about a young woman I’ve been mentoring for several years named Serena Hart. I helped her get into the Navy and into a flight training spot, and after two years of intense training, she soloed in a jet for the first time around five months ago. The number of views as of today is 384,867.

Over 500,000 views on LinkedIn.
It achieved half-a-million people on LinkedIn, 6,000 likes, and several comments based on my personal story — from a humble boy that dreamed to be someone in the future. I went on a prestigious TV show in Brazil at Christmas time and received a PC as a prize. That PC helped me study math and science and finally be accepted into the most prestigious engineering school in Brazil.

Women in Aviation Advisory Board advocacy.
This post is my most successful because it highlights why the work of the Women in Aviation Advisory Board is so important. It’s very unlikely this headline would be shared if a male had been named CEO. We have to be brave and highlight these moments, otherwise people won’t understand that there is an issue. It’s about awareness.

This came at the end of a number of years of being a brand ambassador for South African Airways. I was sharing the good news and insights into life as an airline pilot. When I lost my job, it resonated with my supporters.

Space astronaut candidate.
My first introduction to analog missions and my preparation to start my astronaut career!

That 2022 post proved there was an audience for serious, human aerospace storytelling. Today, TOP 100 Aerospace & Aviation is a verified reputation graph — measuring contribution, verification, and reach across a global directory of Fellows. The post is history. The measurement continues.
