If TCT had been a man there would never have been this much fuss about her flying exploits in the first place!!! The praise for her is similar to the amazed reactions I sometimes got when I flew my helicopter somewhere, landed...and people looked around for the pilot. The non-flying world may still be sexist - and often is - but this thread certainly isn't, and generally that goes for PPRuNe as a whole. And I've been posting here for about 18 years.
