Aviation History: Captain Beverley Bass
15 JAN 2024 · To access the full episode, subscribe to Pilot Pathways at https://www.ladyav8rbeth.com/.
In this inspiring episode, we sit down with Captain Beverley Bass, a trailblazer in aviation history. Born in Fort Myers, Florida, Beverley's journey began in a vibrant, adventurous family that explored the Everglades, fished in the Florida Keys, and dove for lobsters in the Bahamas. Early on, her love for flying took root during her college years at Texas Christian University and eventually led her to become American Airlines' third female pilot in 1976.
As the first female pilot to achieve the rank of Captain in 1986, Beverley's career soared to remarkable heights. She captained American's first all-female crew on the Boeing 727 and went on to make history again as the first woman in the world to captain the B 777 in 1998. Her life took a profound turn on September 11, 2001, when she, along with her crew, was diverted to Gander, Newfoundland. This experience, later recounted in the hit Broadway musical "Come From Away," became a defining moment in her career.
Join us as we delve into Beverley's remarkable journey, exploring her early days in flight instructing, her pioneering role in the cockpit, and the lasting impact of her unexpected stop in Gander. Even today, Captain Beverley Bass continues to defy expectations, still flying a privately-owned jet. Tune in for a captivating conversation with a true aviation legend.
