Delta airlines took flight with a team of pilots who were mother and daughter. The viral photo was taken by the Chancellor of Embry-Riddle Worldwide who just happened to be on the flight that day. The mother-daughter pair smiled wide with the cockpit tools behind them.
The photo has served as a motif of encouragement for women in the aviation industry. Promoting opportunities for women has been an important movement and both mother and daughter have had their part in it.
