I've done this flight twice.

First in a DH114 Heron in 1993 and then in 2013 in a Rockwell 685.

Yes I had help, thanks to Mike Gray from White Rose, and the pilots who accompanied me. But at the end of the day I was responsible for the results and command decisions as well as my costs.

Not withstanding if she is flying this solo then my hat goes off to her. No auto pilot and a speed around 110kts makes for a long trip.

Her passage thru the Middle East and the sub continent will be a challenge, as a woman (no I'm not being sexist, just realistic)

I wish her fair skies and a tail wind
