Once Ms Skelton had made her mark on flying, she moved on to racecars,becoming the first female test driver in the racecar industry. She set several land speed records. She also set a crosscountry record, driving from New York to California in under 57 hours. And she became one of the top women advertising experts working with General Motors in support of the company's Corvette car.
Ms Skelton died in August,2011, at the age of 85. Visitors to the Washington area can see her “Little Stinker” plane at the National Air and Space Museum's Steven F. UdvarHazy Center in Chantilly, Virginia. The small red and white plane hangs high in the air above the entrance to the museum.
