Read about two inspiring Chinese women realizing their dream of flight and their love for Cirrus aircraft.
Miao Pu is a famous Chinese movie star who owns a Cirrus SR22 customized with her personal logo. Miao Pu has dreamed of flying since she was 12 years old riding her bicycle to the airport. As the airplanes flew close over her head, she closed her eyes, spread her arms, and was enveloped by the sound of the engines. Now as a pilot, she watches children near a primary school listen to her airplane with their arms spread as she flies overhead. She wishes to inspire those little girls to dream of flying too.
Chen Yan was the first female private pilot in China. She began to fly after being told by her husband, who served in the Air Force, and her son that flying was not only for men. Chen Yan and her husband operate the Blue Angel coffee shop which is filled with airplane models, instruments and pictures of airplanes. They dream of owning a Cirrus someday.
