Am a Ugandan aged 23years and ever since I remember I’ve always wanted to be a pilot.My passion for Aviation burns ever so strong every day.The only obstacle standing between me and my dream is lack of funds.Is there anyone willing to fund me or is there anywhere you can recommend me for sponsorship?

sometimes in april 2005 a similar feat was achieved in Kenya when a capt Irene Mutungi commanded B 737-300 while flying for Kenya Airways from Nairobi Kenya to Entebe Uganda and back.All female and all black crew.

My name is Kelsey Mecher and started my flying lessons last year and soloed November 11, 2008. I’ve loved flying since I was little, and want to become a pilot when I get out of college. Which I am going to this fall, at Baker College in Muskegon, Michigan. As many of you know how expensive college is for aviation, so I talked it over with my parents and we came up with this idea on how to raise money for college. I’m going to write a book. It will be a cookbook for all woman pilots, and I’ll have little stories by the recipes on how they got to become a pilot, and was wondering if there are any woman pilots on this blog that would like to subscribe a recipe and a short story on how you became a pilot. Now you don’t have to send a story you can just subscribe a recipe and I will put that in the book. The title of the book is “Does it look like I cook?” and there will be a picture of me by the plane that I am learning in and the inside cover will have a little story of how I became a pilot. If you would like to send a recipe, please email it to me at k.mecher@gmail.com. Thank you ever so much.
Greeting from the Friendly Skies!/God Bless!

Why the obsession with all-female crews? As long as a woman can aspire to four-stripe (Captain) rank, since men and women mix in most other work situations, they should mix in airline crews.
