This female pilot flew through the glass ceiling.

Semin Öztürk is Turkey’s first female aerobatic pilot. She overcame sexism — and a fear of heights — to perform death-defying stunts in midair.

Semin has had a passion for flight since she was 12, getting her pilot’s license at 21. She’s also Turkey’s first ever female civilian helicopter pilot, proving that for those who persevere, the sky’s the limit.
