Source link has a photo. She's kind of cute...
Wanaka is a tourist town not far from Queenstown, in Otago, South Island. They regularly host a "Warbirds over Wanaka" air show -- not to be missed!

Anybody that enjoys acrobatic flying needs to visit

In 1988 she went parachuting. The pilot was keen on her. He tried to chat her up. He offered to teach her to fly and she accepted.He had taste.

"He had taste."
But what she has is beyond skill, and into the realm of a gift. An inverted pass under a bridge would be a bit more than most can aspire except in their dreams.

I doubt she's shot five or more combat aircraft down, if that's what you mean. I think the paper was taking some poetic license...
...that said, I don't mind at all!

I'd hit it... though she'd probably kill me. Maybe that's how she got to be an ace?

Awww, just because she's Russian doesn't mean she's got hairy pits... besides, I prefer a woman with natural attributes instead of shaved, tattoed and covered in peircings dangling with hardware in places the Good Lord himself must shudder at the thought...

I'm assuming they mean SU-27 (or 30,35,37, etc, all Flankers), or maybe MiG-29, or does the FSU have something the intel officers aren't telling me about?

Svetlana Kapanina, world champion aerobatic pilotDon't assume. By the way, intel pukes are usually the last to know.

I wonder if Svetlana has ever flown one of these?
She would probably say, " No svet!"

Is that Supermarine Spitfire? Mk IX? (I'm guessing from the tail, long nose and perspex canopy...)
