I don't think those are her personal accomplishments, Stella! I think that is just the list of entries under "aerobatics", of which someone added her as one of the pilots. As a pilot myself, I note from an article I read that she has one basic aerobatics course that she got last year, which is something any private pilot can take. This means she can do a small handful (maybe 3, which is typical of a basic aerobatics course) of basic maneuvers (aileron roll and a half cuban 8, maybe). I don't at all mean to take away from her accomplishments as a pilot, which are substantial, of course! But she wouldn't be qualified for formation flying or any more complicated maneuvers listed on that wiki page. She DEFINITELY wouldn't qualify for the Red Bull races, or any of the other competitions, for example. That takes serious skills and dedication to aerobatics over many years! (How cool would that be though?)
