Here’s my favourite comment from another thread.
“I am amazed that people seem so keen to downplay her flight.
If it brings consciousness of GA to a wider public that’s a good thing. If it alerts more women to the fact that flying isn’t a male preserve that’s an even better thing.
Carping about staying in hotels and having a support team smacks to me of sour grapes, not useful comment.”
Really well said. Flying this kind of distance in an old open cockpit biplane is a huge undertaking in logistics and resources.
It’s challenging enough just trying to cross from Canada to the U.S. in my Tiger Moth. Getting customs to meet you at a field with a suitable grass strip is no easy task.
Vintage aviation can use every positive news story that comes our way! I support this wholeheartedly.
