Last week on Instagram #theninetyninesinc 99s member Natasha held an interesting conversation with Col. Merryl Tengesdal, one of eight female pilots to ever fly the U-2 spy plane, and the only black female pilot during the aircraft’s history.
“I have seen the curvature of the earth,” Tengesdal said. “I have seen sights most people will never see. Flying at over 70,000 feet is really beautiful and peaceful. I enjoy the quiet, hearing myself breath, and the hum of the engine. I never take it for granted”
The Live Q&A conversation was recorded and can now be watched on the 99s youtube channel if you missed it on IG.
