I don't know any of them but I remember woman pilot from NG, hired a Cessna from Schutt aviation at Grovedale in 66 or 67. She did a checkout flight with one of our instructors and he came back a quivering wreck. Her approaches were almost vertical. Can't remember her name and the instructor could have been one of three, one being Aub Coote, who is still flying at 91 years old.
