Episode Synopsis

Laura Russell is a physicist, a flying instructor, a commercial pilot, and an aerobatic pilot.

She flies air buses for Aer Lingus to Europe and the East Coast of the U.S. She is on a journey to becoming Ireland’s first female Unlimited level aerobatic pilot. In her spare time she used to be an artist working with watercolours and pencils but now focuses that side of her creativity on web design for ad hoc customers.

We talk about pulling G whilst doing aerobatics in a plane, working in the precarious industry of commercial flying, mother nature, physics and much much more.
