I have a friend in one of my pilot organizations who was an original Whirlygirl, an early group of women heli pilots. She owned a H269, plus a handful of seized-wings over the years. She was even one of thirteen women selected to be trained as astronauts! (The program was cancelled before any of them were allowed to go into space.) She's a great lady and so humble that it's hard to get her to talk about her accomplishments.
