A Turkish Airline Pilot Eser Aksan Erdogan, is taking the internet by storm by posting her selfies not only from her cockpit but also from the exotic locations she visits.
The whole world is taking selfies these days and who else will be in a better position to do that than the airline pilot. The 31 year old who has traveled to almost 50 countries in her career till date, and explored Northern Lights, been on safari in Tanzania and landed in Saudi Arabia with an all-female flight crew, where women are banned from driving.
You can see what an airline pilot’s life can be by taking a peek into her selfies as she relaxes at five star hotels, sails in the Mediterranean or when she explores world’s wonders like Petra, Jordan.
Her Instagram feed is filled with photos from spectacular destinations such as Rio de Janeiro, Edinburgh, Malta and Petra in Jordan as she started flying 3 years ago.

As Eser talks about her profession,”Being a pilot was my childhood dream. I was kind of a tomboy so I always wanted to fly an F16, but since I’m against war, violence and armies, flying big jets is so much better.”
She further says, “The eternal blue of the sky, fluffy clouds and the ability to visit countries far, far away have always had a big attraction on me. My parents were afraid of flying so I was the only one in the family who had a crush on the sky.”
She said: “The best part of the job is that is never gets boring and we always get to see the sun when you climb over the clouds on rainy days.
Eser currently stays in Turkey and flies Boeing 737 aircraft to destinations in Europe and the Middle East for the low-cost carrier. She also hopes that many and many women take this profession as it is male dominated one.
Here is a peek into her life.
