This lady's trip was, like you say, done properly, and she deserves admiration. However I don't think that she can claim to be the "First Afghan woman" having moved to the US as a young child. If a "home-grown" Afghan woman were to organise and carry out such a flight that would be incredible, and truly impressive. This lady is really just another US pilot doing what quite a few do each year.
