Great Women in Aviation #2 - Dr. Peggy Chabrian

Dr. Peggy Chabrian, president and founder of Women in Aviation, International, (WIAI) decided to become a pilot before it was fashionable for women to pursue this career. It was in college when the flying bug bit her. She was in the right seat of a 1946 Ercoupe when it happened.
"The pilot let me sit at the controls and it was like nothing I had ever done before,” Chabrian said. “It made me reconsider all my career plans. I was studying to be an elementary school teacher but wasn't sure I wanted to teach kids. Flying made me see something else."
