Star Pilot
As a senior first officer, Paula is responsible for flying British Airways’ jumbo jets on long-haul trips to places such as New York. “My friends think it is a glamorous job,” says Paula, 28, “flying to exotic places, — but it’s not always interesting. You don’t usually have much time for sightseeing, and if you are flying on short trips in Britain, you feel like a bus driver.”
Orville Wright was the first person to pilot an aeroplane on 17th December 1903. The flight lasted 12 seconds and covered a distance of 36.5 metres. Six years later, in 1909, a French inventor, Louis Bleriot became the first international pilot by flying 41.8 km across the English Channel in 36 minutes. Did he remember to bring his passport, I wonder?
Not all pilots have motors to help them fly, some people have to use their own energy. In 1988 Kanellos Kanellopoulos flew from Crete to Santorini in his bicycle aeroplane. The 119 km flight took Kanellos 3 hours and 56 minutes.
