An impressive young lady
I quite enjoyed her amusing style of writing. But she has made the mistake of embellishing her stories a bit too much.

Example -and remember she is talking about a Jabiru which mushes gently at the point of stall.

"Suddenly, the plane's wings start to shake violently, as if the aircraft is being rattled by the fist of God.

We're dropping, backward, the tail aimed at the earth. Like a falling cat righting itself into a paws-down attitude, the plane turns of its own desire, the nose scooping sideways and earthbound. We fall 500 feet in what seems like seconds.

I slam the engine's throttle on fast while banging the nose down, forcing air over the wings so the ultralight can ride through it like a shark through the sea. The sensation of falling is replaced by the unmistakable thrust of speed and control.

We are flying again."
