As a pilot, Olsen's adventurous and fun-loving personality was on full display and she took every opportunity to push the limits of her profession. She took on nocturnal assignments and reveled in flying at high speeds and ground-skimming altitudes. Speaking many years later, she characteristically noted, “Who pays attention to rules when you’re a fighter pilot?”.

A particular favorite story of Olsen's took place during a night flight over Coolidge, Arizona, in which Olsen ended up buzzing a field with her plane and woke the entire town up with the ensuing noise.

During her time as a WASP pilot, Olsen flew about 60 missions as part of the 6th Ferry Group, often alone, according to a report from the Chinook Observer in 2011. She also flew about 29 different aircraft. Her favorite was the P-51.

"Mom said the P-38 was an old woman's plane. She said anybody could fly that," Stranburg said. "She said that the (P-)51, you had to stay on top of that."

Olsen would get a kick out of scaring farmers on their tractors and fly right behind them. She would do the same at railroad stations just because.
