Marija Jovanovich: RAAF Wing Commander, P3 Orion Pilot & Test Pilot

Welcome to Episode 13 of Up and Away, the Australian aviation podcast! This week it's my absolute pleasure to say we are joined by RAAF Wing Commander Marija Jovanovich! Maz has had a stellar career in the Royal Australian Airforce as a P3 Orion pilot and a test pilot. She is now about to take command of No. 10 Squadron, where her career as a P3 pilot first began! The sheer amount of aircraft she has flown as pilot in command is just crazy, from the F-18 to the MiG-15, her story is truly inspiring. We talk about her operational history, her experience at USAF Test Pilot School, tackling mental challenges in intense environments, and the future possibilities of Australian space exploration.
