Pilot Kirsty Henderson

Grade 2 flight instructor at Lanseria flight centre

Age 23

From Cape Town

Started flying in 2011 at Stellenbosch flying club. Finished integrated ATP and instructors rating at 43 airschool. Been working at Lanseria Flight centre as an instructor since May 2014 flying a C172 and currently have just over 1000 flying hours.

I decided to volunteer for the flight for the children initiative as I believe every child should be given the opportunity to experience the great joys of life and especially this amazing one that we as pilots get to experience every day. I also believe in encouraging children to pursue their dreams no matter the circumstances and it is such a privilege to be able to share my passion with these kids in the hope that it will give them something to work towards and look forward to in the future.
