Melbourne: Dodging from the solo world in one-engine airplane is a challenge that even experiences experienced pilots will rise.
But it comes from a ripped war and grow as refugees in Afghanistan-Americans Shaesta Waiz, 34, learn how to overcome difficulties at an early age.
At the age of 30, Waiz became the youngest woman to drive a single solo aircraft throughout the world, with her home country between the stop hole which she made during the SOJURUR HER145 in 2017.
During the last few months her journey – she won admiration from many people while the Taliban sent a threat – And worries for his extended family have remained up at night.
Years he previously sent a letter to the Afghan government, asked to connect with the pilot of women who could guide him.
“The government writes back in the history of Afghanistan, there has never been a certified civilian pilot.
I will be the first.
This is the motivation that I need to truly still through it,” he said.
“It hurts my soul when I think of Afghanistan,” said Waiz, who had another achievement for his credit – he was the first woman’s certified civilian pilot from Afghanistan.
After the withdrawal of US military forces, the Taliban controlled Afghanistan in August.
Waiz said some of his family fled to the US while others were still trapped in Afghanistan.
“The Taliban says women can learn, but the situation seems very different in the ground,” Waiz said, whose parents migrated to the US as a refugee in 1987 during the Soviet War.
“For many people, history repeats itself,” he told Ti from California.
The Waiz realized that his dream of opening a flight school in Afghanistan ruled by the Taliban could not take off now.
“After I returned in 2017, I tried several times to get a project from the ground, but every time, I was told it was not the right time because it was not safe for women to learn to fly outside the military environment because there was no protection and they would be targeted .
“The pilot visit in 2017 is also not free from risk like that.
The place for his conversation must be converted into a free TV recording studio after the threat of the Taliban.
“That day, 300 girls appeared and I thought they could teach me about courage.
Unfortunately, this country was not arranged for these girls to really succeed.” Waiz flight record is currently challenged by Belgium Zara Rutherford 19 years who fly across the planet.
Solo on one plane machine.
