Taahira Khan from Zimbabwe. At the early age of 4 years old she attended her first airshow, ever since that day, her father always told her, she never stopped telling him one day she would fly those aeroplanes. After completing college it was still her dream to become a pilot. Due to financial difficulties she was only able to complete her PPL. She relocated to South Africa where she slowly worked towards gaining a CPL. The obstacles didn’t deter her passion to complete her CPL. She washed aeroplanes at her flying school to gain free hour building hours and did administration work for the school for free training hours. She completed her ab-initio flight instructor rating. The flying school she trained at, employed her as an instructor. She now works for a company called Coastal Aviation as Caravan line pilot in Tanzania. She still aspires to be a Boeing 777 training captain in the future. Her message to fellow females aspiring to become pilots is to never give up, hard work and perseverance will always pay off in the end.
