A Hand for Accomplishments of Women Pilots
The Her World article on women pilots (“Women in the Cockpit Inspire Others to Make Their Dreams Take Flight,” Sept. 2) reminded me of an incident several years ago.
We were in Australia, flying between Canberra and Brisbane on a 70-passenger plane. Both the pilot and the co-pilot were women. When we landed, it was so smooth that I had to look out the window to affirm we were on the ground.
Many of the women on board broke into applause while the men (my husband included) looked bewildered by the clapping. It was the best landing I’ve ever experienced.
