Thanks Don! I didn't fully appreciate that she was in "writer mode" when she took me up on the offer to fly. It was a bit strange being "interviewed" while flying and dealing with a really hazy afternoon, trying to look for traffic and keep track of where I was! I really didn't have much mental capacity to "filter" what I was saying, which may be why she was doing the interview in the plane

Clever interviewing technique!
I was a bit surprised this was her first flight in an experimental being flown by the person who built it. But based on some stories she told me about inflight Stupid Pilot Tricks that she had been exposed to in the past, I completely understand her caution. I'm glad she was comfortable flying with me. It was fun.
All Best
