Females can be much better pilots then men. It's a fairly well known fact they can withstand high G's for longer periods of time.

The joy of flying an airplane to its limits without worrying about something breaking and having aerodynamics that helped you in your efforts. That's what I enjoyed about the Stearman PT-13 when I was teaching myself how to do a few things. There were times when I swear that I heard it laughing at me. This lady has the best aerodynamically designed airplane to do what she is doing with it and she has the mentality and skill to match it.
If you have an unbreakable airplane and some training, the courage required is minimal when you don't have to worry about breaking something.
