A Flying Start!
A Flying Start!
Gillian
Forbes is only 17 and she has just got her pilot's license. She is the country's
youngest girl pilot. “How do you feel, Gillian?” I asked her after her test.
“Wonderful!” Gillian cried. “I enjoy flying more than anything in the world. I
can't imagine letting a week pass without spending some of my time in the air.”
“What started you flying?” I asked. “I just love travelling in planes. I
started learning to fly when I was very young.” “Would you consider flying as a
career?” “I might, but I've got to pass my school exams now. There are some
things you can't avoid doing!” “Excuse me asking,” I said, “but does everyone
in your family approve of you for flying?” “Of course!” Gillian exclaimed. “I
can't imagine anyone's disapproving. Can you?” “Of course not!” I said. “What's
your greatest ambition now?” “I want to learn to drive a car!” Gillian said
with a big smile.
