Ever since I was nine years old, I have dreamed of becoming a pilot. At the age of 43, I finally started to live out my passion for gliding. After successfully passing my exam, I immediately acquired my motor glider licence and covered more than 100 flying hours within a very short time. In order to travel faster and further, I also completed my UL licence and have since spent many hours doing so. Along the way I also trained as a line maintenance for Rotax engines. My next goal is to obtain the PPL-A and then the CPL-A. The Fly2Troy VFR Türkiye trip I initiated is a highlight in my life and I can't wait to start this adventure together with you.

I am not a pilot and have little else to do with flying, but I regularly fly with my husband Zafer Ertem as a companion. Actually, I am afraid of flying, but when I fly in a small sports plane with my husband, I feel safe. I wish all pilots who embark on this great journey a lot of fun and always happy landings!

When I went gliding with my father for the first time at the age of 14, I was immediately enthusiastic and am still passionate about piloting gliders in the Alps. I have been flying regularly for 13 years now and have successfully acquired my PPL-A licence along the way. Flying has now become my permanent hobby and it even offers me the opportunity to combine it with a professional career. This trip to Türkiye is a very special experience for me, both in terms of the country, the fascinating culture and the delicious food, as well as the insanely great experience that comes with a long journey. I am really looking forward to this trip and wish us all safe landings all the time!
