Q & A with Tracey Curtis Taylor - Features - Pilot
If you hadn’t been flying solo, who would have been your ideal co-pilot?
Although this was primarily a solo flight, certainly at the outset, I often took members of the crew and sponsors with me in the Stearman for reasons of expediency or indeed just so that they could share the experience.
To confirm, 40 out of 44 flights were with her instructor...
Even on her own website she talks of her 'solo' flight.
In Kenya, both the sponsors and TV company had to formally ask her to stop using the word 'solo' - not the other way around.
Still, good to see she's calming the 'solo' rhetoric at least a little, finally.
