  She may not _like_ it but she will fly when necessary. She canceled a
promo tour for _The Dreaming_ when the QE2 had engine trouble, on one
She did fly here (America) for the promo tour for _Hounds of Love_. She
flew the Concorde to JFK in New York (one of the only airports in the US
that will accept it.) We met her plane, and she didn't look _too_
stressed out. According to an uncomfirmed source, Kate attended a record
company meeting in Las Vegas, and was "treated" to a small plane tour of
*the Grand Canyon*! Now *that* would be stressful!
