Aviator vs aviatrix

I changed the designation "pilot" in the lede to "aviator", which is not generally used unless the pilot is also an adventurer. Due to possible misunderstanding as gender bias, please do not change to "aviatrix" without the concurrence of the subject herself. Blainster (talk) 18:50, 21 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

a man flies solo, a woman flies sola.

she flies or flew sola 184.152.98.132 (talk) 11:07, 25 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

First person or first woman to complete a circumnavigation in a microlight aircraft?

Looking for clarifications: In the first paragraph, it says she is "the first person to complete a circumnavigation in a microlight aircraft." In the biography window, it says she is "Youngest female pilot to fly solo around the world." Both are significant achievements - are both accurate? In the next section, it says she is "the first woman to circumnavigate the world in a microlight aircraft." If you are the youngest to do something, someone younger may break that record. If you are the FIRST - that is forever. If you are the first woman to do something no man has done, that is also significant.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.2.204.153 (talk) 02:07, 27 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I have a picture of Zara's actual Shark plane - possible to use that one rather than the 'archive' you are currently using? sam@prepare2go.com Thanks! 2A02:1811:4D06:4D00:D5C:F138:C48E:849B (talk) 05:02, 3 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
