TCT Just finished an interview on BBC Radio Scotland....
She is the owner of Spirit of Artemis.
She has two aeroplanes, a Ryan PT22, and the Stearman. The Stearman is her favourite.
She is a qualified Commercial Pilot, and Qualified Instructor.
She does not fly professionally, bur for the love of it-a hobby.
She flew at tree top height, dodging power lines, in Romania, due to weather.
She flew through Israel, at 15 feet, in formation with another Stearman.
When she landed in Australia, she took the wings off the Stearman to ship it to the States for the Round the World epic.
The crash in Arizona, reached 60 feet, RPM drop of 300, she turned the plane through thirty degrees, and handled the crash landing.
At this stage in the interview, Ewald was mentioned as a crew member, who was on board at the time of the crash. It was the only mention of him....
She has no moving map for her epic trials, just an old rickety GPS, a map, and the wind in her hair.......
There you go.........
