LOL No wonder she had, what - 8 airplane accidents?
Ric (brought forward from 'Frisky Woman' thread) -
I think I've counted 11.
Ric, do you know how many of the 11 today would be called "accidents" as opposed to "incidents"?
Two occurrences while she was taking instruction don't count because she was not Pilot in Command so it's "only" ten - six accidents and four incidents. An accident involves substantial damage to the aircraft and/or serious or fatal injury.
