WAI-What should you do if you want to become a pilot?

The pilots and mechanics at the Women In Aviation International Conference have advice for you if you want to become a pilot or get into any job in the aviation field. Hear from fighter pilots, the 1st ever female Thunderbird pilot, Gulfstream jet pilots, corporate pilots, and more. How did they do it?

I am a 21 yr old woman and I am looking for a mentor. I recently went back to college to finish my associate...only half way there, but better to have something than nothing correct? Is there anyone who is willing to mentor me and my dream to become a cargo pilot? Thank you!

Hi Jacqueline,

Have you attended any Women in Aviation or 99s meetings? They have mentor programs and so does AOPA and EAA. There's links to all these at FlyGirlFly dotcom. Click on "Wanna Fly?" and scroll down. Cheers,

I think that female Naval Aviator graduated flight training with my brother. I remember going down to Kingsville around Dec. 2003, for his graduation and seeing her, I'm pretty sure it's her. If it is I'm glad she made her dreams come true and is flying Super Hornets.
