Do the good ole boys of that warbird shed on Long Island really believe that she flew that Boeing around the world?
Didn't they know that the aircraft arrived in the States on two pallets, on both occasions of its arrival, and that the "pilot/s(?)" probably traveled First or Biz class in a jet, albeit a Boeing one?
They certainly wouldn't view a coast to coast flight in a biplane as "historic". Even a mediocre pilot can very easily fly such a distance over a period of a week or two. A hundred years ago mail pilots were flying coast to coast in biplanes which had vastly less reliable engines. They probably didn't use an iPad to navigate.
Didn't any of them think to ask her how she flew a Stearman across the Pacific? Or even across the Atlantic? Narsarsuaq to Goose Bay without ferry tanks would have been quite a trip! Hawaii to Burbank even more so. That space in the front was occupied by a pilot for most of her flights, so no room for an extra tank there. Where did she hide the tank? Under her modesty?
Can we expect her to be given a medal for her latest achievement?
