Beschreibung

Heidi's story is extraordinary. Imagine being 540 miles from land, with nothing but water in sight, and then experiencing every pilot's worst nightmare - a complete engine failure. Heidi's fixed-gear Cessna bounced off the ocean's surface, flipped onto its back, and began to sink. What followed was a nine-hour ordeal, battling 10-foot seas in a tiny life raft, with the shadow of the Cold War looming as she was finally rescued by a Soviet vessel. Her story is not only one of survival, but of aspirations realized, love found, and then lost, and how childhood trauma became of source of strength to be called upon. It is a harrowing tale of courage, resilience, and the enduring human spirit.

Über den Autor
Heidi's love of the sky began at the tender age of four. At age 17, she traded childhood dreams for the reality of soaring through the clouds. Earning her glider pilot's license was just the beginning. She swiftly ascended through the ranks, eventually earning her Airline Transport rating. From ferrying planes across the vast expanse of the Pacific Ocean to commanding iconic airliners, Heidi's career is a testament to her unwavering passion. She's piloted aircraft from small Cessnas to the majestic Boeing 747-400. Her expertise extended beyond the cockpit, as she spent 13 years shaping future pilots as a simulator instructor and Fleet Training [...] a remarkable 35-year career culminating in the Airbus A330, Heidi traded the commercial skies for the private jet. Now, she shares her extraordinary journey with audiences through the Aviation Speakers Bureau, inspiring aspiring aviators and captivating listeners with tales of adventure, innovation, and the boundless possibilities of flight.
