I'm afraid I probably made this one too hard and you likely won't get the actual person until you find out what she did for a living. I'm not at ALL in the entertainment business and if I wrote anything, you wouldn't have heard of it. I was born right here in Alberta. Creedy is the "closest" so far.

I believe Sara is American. I'm not an author and I'm not a scientist or a physicist (although both certainly have a connection lol). My first name is the same as several species of Australian parrots. My surname is Scandanavian.

She was the first woman to be hired as a First officer in North America on scheduled jet equipment and the first woman to be hired by a commercial air line in Canada. She was also the first woman to be a member of the Canadian Air Line Pilots Association. During her second pregnancy in 1984 regulations were changed to allow a pilot who is pregnant to fly. In 1990 she became the first woman to be promoted to Captain with a major Canadian air carrier. She is a member of Canada's Aviation Hall of Fame.
Congrats Tobyone - you're up up and away : )

Nice clue, Jakeroo. (I reckoned nobody would call a child Gang-gang.)
Now; I'm an Australian woman, deceased.
