The Saskatchewan Air Ambulance team held an open house in Saskatoon on Wednesday to promote women in aviation.
Members of the SAA team discussed their roles, training and experience with students interested in aviation careers.
SAA captain and pilot Tammie Kulyk said her job doesn’t feel like work.
“I come to work and play everyday,” she said. “It has its challenges, but it also has the benefit of working with everyone else who truly loves their job.”
She said she found her love for flying when she was young at airshows in Moose Jaw.
Kulyk’s favorite part about her job is seeing the views from the sky.
“You see the most amazing sunsets. You think it looks good outside your kitchen window? You should see it from 20,000 feet. It’s truly breathtaking.”
The awareness week serves to address the gender imbalance in the air and space industry.
