Rosemary Sugh, a 23-year old graduate of Nigerian College of Aviation
Technology, Zaria, was born on November 14, 1992…and according to an
interview she granted last year, she has flown three planes so far, a
TD9, a TD20, and a Multi Engine, B68. Speaking about why she became a
pilot, Rosemary, who is from Kwande local government area of Benue
state. said;
It was my childhood determination. When I
look up and see planes flying and making noise , I was like, God, I have
to be a pilot. And it helped me in the sense that the kind of movies I
watched, one of the movies was Starship Trooper. There was a lot of
discouragement from my parents and other people. They a$$umed that if
you are a lady and you are a pilot, you may not marry, you can’t cope
with marriage. So, when I saw a lady in that Starship Trooper, I was
moved. I said wow, if this girl can fly, then I can fly. And I put it
into prayers, despite all the obstacles and discouragement.”
