I concur with this guy quoted in the article:

A pilot from Oregon, Rick Ray, logged on to give his view on an extraordinary tale of survival.

"I want a comp glider like Ewa's," he joked. "Climbs like a rocket. Survives 20 m/s up and 33 m/s down. Handles well enough to fly by itself when you are unconscious. Dang, I gotta get me one of those."

(Man, she was lucky!)

I can't believe she wants to fly again!
What can she do to top that trip?

Take up volcano-diving?

They had an exhibition once where they took two steam locomotives and ran them full speed at each other.
The collision was more spectacular than expected.

So maybe burning man isn't new.
Maybe it's just that old primal urge that created stone circles
and starships?
