A white girl taught me to fly in black Africa - she overcame everyone's prejudices by being bloody good at what she did.
I count as many girl pilots as friends as I do boy pilots. Okay you both know who you are!
The thing that I find even stranger than gender-ism in flying is that most folk think that you need to have independent means to own or operate an aeroplane.
That to me is a myth that needs debunked!
