...INTERVIEW TRANSCRIPT Q: Why did you choose to become a pilot, or did you originally dream to become a pilot? A: Well, when I was your age, yeah, probably even younger, whenever I see airplanes, you know, because my mom used to go abroad when I was small and then, so, when she's away and whenever I see airplanes in the sky, people say I usually point to that plane and then I guess, probably that's why I wanted to become a pilot, to go to places because I can see pictures of her in other countries, nice places, probably that's why I wanted to become one. Q: What are the requirements to pilot school? A: Requirements. In the first place, I got mine when I joined the Air Force, so in my experience, I can say that in the Air Force, at first, you must be commissioned officer—that is a lieutenant—then you must be able to pass a competitive examination, then you must also pass a rigid medical exam, and after that you must finish the two-year flying training in the Airforce. In the civilian world, I think, the requirement in the cilivian world, you must have a four-year college degree, preferably something that is technical but it doesn't actually matter, but it's—it would be better if you would have a technical college degree, and after that, you must be at least eighteen years old, and you must also get a student pilot license [at] the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines and you must also secure a Class1 medical exam, so that's the requirement to become a pilot here in the Philippines...

...the image of the face of women forever. Soon to be an American aviator, Amelia Earhart was born on July 24, 1897, in Atchison, Kansas. She was the daughter of a successful railroad attorney. Because of her father’s occupation, Amelia spent her childhood growing up in many different towns. Her fascination for adventure and thrill seeking started off at a young age where Amelia and her big sister Muriel decided one day that they wanted to make a plane. There was a lack in material, so they decided to make a rollercoaster instead. Even though neither one of the girls knew how to make a roller coaster, they got some wood from an old wooden fence they tore down. First, they made the “car” by placing the bottoms of roller skates under a big piece of wood and the rest of the wood was used to make a slide that went from the top of a woodshed to the ground. With Amelia and her bravery, she went first and rolled quickly down the unstable slide. The “car” hit the ground and Amelia bounced into the air and turned into a somersault, luckily escaping injury. Years after the family moved to Des Moines, Iowa where they attended a state fair. That is when Amelia got to see her first airplane which did not impress Amelia. The airplane was made of wood and wires and reminded Amelia of a “big orange crate.” Because of this, she thought she would never own an airplane. Even though she was young at the time Amelia knew she wanted to do something fun in the future. One night in 1910 Amelia’s...
