Rachel Gilmour
Rachel Gilmour is a 26-year-old Scottish pilot who has made history as the youngest captain in the world.

Gilmour became a flight instructor by 22 and later signed a contract with Loganair, where she quickly advanced to first officer before becoming a captain. Despite her achievements, she often faces misconceptions due to her youthful appearance, with passengers mistaking her for a flight attendant.
