So... after reading the names, i haz a question.
Were both pilots male?
The captain who was flying was male, and was a Marine helicopter pilot with thousands of hours for UPS. The copilot was female. She had type ratings in everything UPS flies including the 747.
No. The F/O was a very experienced female.
Capt. Cerea Beal, Jr., 58, of Matthews, N.C. and First Officer Shanda Fanning, 37, of Lynchburg, Tenn.
