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 assumed
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."
