She Was Israel's First Female Attack Helicopter Pilot. Now She's Battling In-flight Turbulence
A latchkey kid who grew up in Hadera, Maya Shpak clawed her way back into an air force pilots course from which she'd been ejected, to become Israel's first female attack helicopter pilot. Today she’s CEO of SkyPath, a startup that provides invaluable data to airlines about turbulence
Maya Shpak was on a United Airlines domestic flight in the United States when the pilot announced, “The area ahead of us shows turbulence. I’m going to turn the seat belt sign on and will turn it back off about five minutes later.” A small jolt was felt in the plane, and shortly afterward the sign went off, as promised.
