According to the Pilot Institute, there are nearly 65,000 female pilots and that only accounts for 9% of the workforce.
TUCSON, Ariz. — An Oro valley teen is taking to the skies to get her pilots license while looking to change the future and face of the flight industry. 17-year-old Shea Lisak is a teen on a mission, the Ironwood Ridge High School senior is on her way to the Arizona State University professional flight program in the fall, but before she gets there, she's planning to get her pilot's license over the summer.
"I’m proud of her that she really wants to do this,” Laurie Lisak said."She’s pursuing her dreams and that’s all you ever want for your child so I’m happy." An 81-year-old instructor Ron Wiener has been giving flying lessons to pilots since the 1960’s. He has had plenty of students over the years and says Shea is talented and soaks up flight information like a sponge.
