Bump.

That's very impressive... This is just 10 years ago as of 2014. These facts have to be properly documented in aviation history.

Oh, wow! Captain Abimbola Jayeola indeed set the pace for other young female copter pilots such as the FIRST-EVER female combat helicopter pilot in the Nigerian Air Force, Flying Officer Tolulope Arotile (13th December 1995 to 14th July 2020) to follow.

Yoruba women are indeed super brilliant in many fields of human endeavor and are globally competitive.

@Sugah

Listen... If you had read my post without any confirmation bias on your part, you would have gotten a proper hang of what I posted. What do you mean by me reducing your post and her achievements to "tribal" bants? You clearly have to be sent to the "naughty corner" for this misrepresentation.

As a well-educated and globally well-traveled man, I have a very cosmopolitan and multicultural worldview. I don't engage in banal ethnic bants here, and I believe that a lot of women worldwide are relentlessly breaking the glass ceiling and must be celebrated. The two women mentioned here have scored FIRSTS as civilian and Air Force helicopter pilots and that is highly commendable.

Matter-of-factly, Abimbola Jayeola, the female copter Captain mentioned in your post should be celebrated in a Nigerian or aviation hall of fame (along with other folks) to inspire the young ones, and I ONLY just read about her on this thread for the FIRST time ever last week despite being quite a voracious reader of functional books and news sources.

Last but not least, I'm gonna emphasize here and now that it's just a coincidence that the two women copter pilots (Abimbola and Tolulope) alluded to in that your post and mine are copter pilots of Yoruba descent. "It is what it is" and there's NO need for you or anybody to be "politically correct" or get riled up about that, and I certainly have NO apologies to give to anybody for framing my post the way I did.

Besides, I know full well that millions of Americans (Norwegian-Americans, Irish-Americans, Jewish-Americans, Japanese-Americans, Chinese-Americans, Italian-Americans, etc), all proudly have cultural and ethnic language classes in the U.S. for their children. They celebrate their collective achievements and various ancestral roots by making yearly air travels to their original countries of origin. So, folks over there in Nigeria or of Nigerian Diaspora descent worldwide shouldn't be too ashamed about expressing their healthy ethnic identities. Period.


P.S. Instinctively, I can see from a glance of a thread here that you have an aviation background. It seems you personally know Captain Abimbola as well.
