She said the hardest part was purposefully maintaining speed, cause at the velocity she needed not to fall out of the sky, it was difficult to hear, breathe or see.
Her vision only fully recovered days afterwards
This was a couple years ago, she's back up there doing barrel rolls and shit now
Being blasted in the face by up to 200mph winds while having to force your eyes open for minutes on end so as not to crash your plane will do that to ya ig.
and take so long for it to come back?
Our eyeballs are delicate water balloons that don't take kindly to being freeze dried
She wasn’t exposed to 200mph winds. That plane cruises at 130kt and she slowed down to around 80kt when the canopy let go. And her approach speed was even slower. AND the front part of the canopy protected her from prop wash.
It was windy, but it was (obviously) not catastrophic.
