You know when people say that it’s never too late to achieve your dreams? Well, while some might think it’s some faux-inspirational nonsense told by people who are comfortable with their lives, others try to apply it to themselves. 33-year-old Sara Johansson is one of the latter and her Instagram with 22,6k followers is a living testament to that saying actually working.
Johansson used to work as a hairdresser before she found her true calling in the cockpit of a Boeing. Even though she used to be terrified of flying when she was younger, Sara now admits that there is no better feeling than flying a 60-ton plane.
However, pilot training and challenging flights weren’t the only obstacles in her way. Johansson also opened up about the difficulties she faced because of her gender, saying that she was tested extra hard because she was a woman. Nonetheless, overcoming all of it was very satisfying. Now Sara posts photos on her Instagram page, sharing her adventures with the rest of the world.

What the hell does her looks have to do with this? As if she were less attractive it would be less of an achievement. How flipping degrading and insulting to all women. Sarah kudos to you. For being a pilot and conquering your fears. And I don't give a shit about your looks because they are bloody irrelevant. Sincerely, a 33 year old that's also overcome her own fears.

Whoa Joni cool it. Okay. Breathe. Now, the answer is hot chicks get more clicks. You don't see a homely broad pilot thread anywhere here on BP do ya? Alright then.
I expect people are downvoting his patronising attitude! "Whoa, cool lt, okay, breathe"??? Oh, get back in your box . I do wish people would stop telling other people to not show strength of feeling. Joni is entitled to feel frustrated. HOW was this woman tested extra hard? Her message is nothing without examples. We already know women are perfectly capable of being pilots. We have got to make some effort to stop things being about looks.
I agree but why oh why does our world have to be like that I wish sometimes it was much more simple but it is not thank you John for stating facts I dont get why people are down voting you he simply said a fact no one likes I am a feminist and completely agree with Joni John smith never disagreed. But Joni has EVERY RIGHT TO GET MAD the fact the world is like this is not okay

Looks are irrelevant?? How's that rock you're living under?
I think she meant that it's irrelevant to the topic, which is about overcoming your fears and being very successful at it. And it would be very impressive even if she wasn't very beautiful.
Yep, sorry but all these photos make it about what she looks like rather than who she is and what she's accomplished.
Ben Smith you are boring and obvious.
What Ben said is exactly what I'm getting at - she's making it about her looks rather than her brains and drive and that's sort of sad.

I didn't read any of it, just looked at the pics. What did she accomplish???
Well, ya knowww... maybe if you READ the post, you would be able to answer your own question... just a thought though!
"Johansson also opened up about the difficulties she faced because of her gender" says the article that starts "this stunning woman".
Yet she didn't open up as there were no examples. Really shoddy interview and write up. BP should do better than this.
