21. Tetyana Shevchenko: Eyes Wide Open
Inspire-Ability Episode 21
Our next guest of the series, Tetyana Shevchenko is an experienced pilot, and the only female heritage jet pilot flying the Jet Provost. She discusses with Harriett how her behaviour has changed from childhood, when she had been a sickly child that struggled in social situations. Having grown up in Ukraine, Tetyana then moved to the UK to become a software engineer, and it was a chance encounter with a B-52 Stratofortress at the Imperial War Museum Duxford, that inspired an interest in learning to fly. Tetyana discusses the hurdles she faced in gaining her PPL, and how she went from being the longest-serving student at her school, to a well-respected aerobatic pilot with the respect of her peers.
