There is an obituary in this mornings newspaper re Margaret Ringenberg.
,died July aged 87 ,with 40,000hrs logged up to 1994 when she stoppped counting!
It is amazing what she did in her life.
She ferried aircraft in wartime,instructed and raced very successfully.
I had never heard of her until this morning,it makes one wonder how many unsung heroes there are out there.

Just googled her (for those too lazy to do so) and it is an interesting read - thanks for posting this Lister.

Wow! And what a way to go - at EAA Oshkosh.

RIP (or perhaps better - happy flying, wherever you are :ok:)
