Good luck to her, especially after the fraud of Curtis Taylor's "solo" flights it is refreshing if someone is actually doing what they say they are doing, but lets not forget the many other men and women who have done these flights and raised a huge amount of money for charity..
Amy won the prize for the first person to fly from England to Australia as a PILOT not a FEMALE PILOT. She went on to break many records as a PILOT. Amy also did all her own maintenance along the way. If women had been allowed to be anything other than members of the ATA during WW2 then she probably would have been flying spitfires a lot further. So please, don't segregate us as if we need special applause for being a PILOT. (that's addressed to the journos not the OP!)
