she has wangled a ride in a certain two-engined aircraft
The only interesting twin-engined airplane that comes to mind is a Mosquito ... don't tell me that you've found an airworthy one and actually managed to cadge a ride?!
Actually, I suppose it could be a P-38 (not too much room for a passenger, though I recall
reading that Bill Lear Jr. occasionally used to take girls up in his).
