"I’ve had 35 years flying these kind of aeroplanes. I’m as experienced as anyone in the world flying them.”
At the last count, she had 450 hours on type. In 35 years.

When she pranged in Winslow she'd flown 2 hours solo in the previous 90 days and 3 hours solo in the previous 30 days. Not quite sure how that works, but those are the numbers she reported to the FAA/NTSB.
