Silva McLeod
This is the life story of Silva Mcleod, the first Tongan woman to become an airline pilot. She’s still one of only a handful. Told by Silva with frankness and wit, it’s quite a story. Silva takes us on a journey of cultural change from her beginnings as a poor island girl to her marriage to an Australian. The challenges of pursuing a flying career and its impact on her family are set against the backdrop of the love story of her life with her husband and his battle with cancer.
Silva McLeod as she launches her memoir “Island Girl to Airline Pilot” in the Virgin Australia Lounge at Melbourne Airport Domestic Terminal.
Copies of Silva’s book Island Girl to Airline Pilot, detailing how she went from a small island in Tonga to the cockpit of Virgin’s Boeing 777.
