How Silva McLeod became Tonga’s first female pilot
  + stars: | 2023-07-28 | by ( Lilit Marcus | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +5 min
In doing so, she became one of only a handful of Tongan people ever to get a pilot’s license – and the first Tongan woman. Chipping away year by year, course by course, McLeod slowly worked her way toward becoming a pilot. McLeod got her pilot’s license in 1992. “Delivering that (pilot address) in Tongan, flying in Tonga, I felt like my mission was accomplished,” she says. The other Tongan pilots she knows of were also trained abroad.
