She was of the same age as Beryl Markham and Karen Von Blixen...there were
many women in her era who did marvelous things...

Too bad things have changed so much these days where
most women are mediocre in there efforts.

Dr. Laura, Laura Bush, Ann Coulter, and Lady Pilot are among
the few notables.

Beryl Markham was a great pilot and a fabulous writer.

"Lucky Lindy" was a great pilot; but a Nazi apologist/supporter. On
balance, I personally put him in the "asshole" category.

But to comment on the original post/photo... does it bother anyone but
me that:

She's not wearing adequate rotorcraft headphones.
She's in the copilot/student seat.
She has her "off" hand filled with some little microphone or something
when it should be on the collective.

Looks to me like she's the "hostess" of a siteseeing craft, not its
pilot.

I think she's a news babe or a traffic babe. I think the
actual pilot took the photo.

Didn't notice any red-eye, did you?
