Fired up! Flying Women with Allie Dunnington Conversation Changers

Welcome to a brand new series of The Women’s Edition. There are so many inspiring guests this series, I really can’t wait for you to hear them all!

In this week’s episode, I had the absolute pleasure of talking to hot air balloon pilot Dr. Allie Dunnington.

Allie holds the women’s world record for flying a hot air balloon in the most countries in the world and she’s also the UK’s first female Private Pilot Licence Examiner. She’s flown in 103 countries so far, and she’s on a mission to add so many more.

Allie is extremely passionate about getting more women flying, she's an active member of the British Women Pilots’ Association and she set up the Women’s Balloon Event for female pilots which also promotes hot air ballooning for women.

Talking points include:

-Allie’s world record breaking flights around the world

-How Allie got into hot air ballooning

-Memorable flights and flying in different terrains

-What hot air ballooning is like and how to become a pilot

-What qualities you need to be a pilot

-The reasons there aren’t more female pilots and how to solve this

-Women in aviation

-The Women’s Balloon Events and how they started
