Some of our more avid supporters may recognize Cheryl as one of the pilots from our first ever all-female flight crew story back in April last year. Cheryl is one of the most experienced pilots in the business, having started as a flight engineer for FedEx 24 years ago. Cheryl started flying the DC-10s and, before long, became a Captain and then instructor for the MD-10s and 11s.
Cheryl and her husband Pete recently piloted the Flying Eye Hospital to Ghana where they became the first wife and husband team in the 40-year history of Orbis to fly this amazing aircraft. Cheryl and Pete even hung around for a few days to help out the team.
