Incredibly brave and adventurous woman, who here amongst us would even contemplate let alone dare to go on a multi stop VFR bimble equipped with only a newly reconditioned plane and engine, sporting the latest Garmin kit, powered by all the free avgas you can burn and under the watchful eye of the aircrafts builder and 10,000 hour flight instructor?

It must have been abject hell cruising along day after day burdened with the angst of never knowing that this may very well be the night that the support team let you down by failing to secure accommodation that offered both a duvet turn down service and a mint on the pillow.

I too would have made funeral arrangements prior to departure if there was no assurance that those damned ungrateful natives in the former colonies would allow me to chose from the full dinner menu instead of the bar menu in the unfortunate event Sam failed to get the luggage delivered to the hotel bellhop on time.

Armed with the knowledge that danger was not solely reserved for the flying part she bravely ventured into classrooms full of kids of the local elite protected only by her PR advisor who mitigated the risk somewhat by assuring her that she and Artemis would not have to part with any cash donations as a retelling of her and Amy's flying exploits was more than enough to motivate any youth predisposed to a flying or engineering career.

Spectacular, just absolutely amazing, who needs Mother Teresa when we got our gal Tracey?
