WONZ 284 - Grace Hills is now online. I talk with Grace Hills in this episode to mark the annual international Girls In Aviation Day!
Grace is an aircraft technician in the Royal New Zealand Air Force, and she is also a private pilot. She learned to fly at Ardmore and through the Walsh Memorial Scout Flying School at Matamata, and she undertook the RNZAF’s School To Skies programme that led to her current career.
Whilst working on modern helicopters in her day job, she has also enthusiastically become involved in historic aviation. She flies Tiger Moths and a Nanchang, and she has turned her hand to helping with the restorations of the John Smith Mosquito and John smith’s Tiger Moth at Omaka, and Brendon Deere’s North American P-51D Mustang at Ohakea.
Grace is also the secretary of the New Zealand Association of Women in Aviation.
