This is Rifat Haye. The Pakistani pilot who flew me from Islamabad to Lahore earlier this month.
It is always a pleasure to be flown by a woman. I have had the pleasure of being on an aircraft with an all-woman crew in India, but this was one woman I had to meet -- after all, she is one of the nine Pakistani pilots in service and perhaps the seniormost too.
After the very smooth landing I made my way to the cockpit hoping there would not be an overreaction because of my nationality.
Haye was a charmer. She spoke to me about her career spanning 20 years and also let me photograph her.
