Dalcomm Tech is proud to support women in aviation everywhere! To that end, we’ve started a new feature of our website. We’re happy to be posting information about inspiring women aviators from around the world. In this post you can read about the brilliant and beautiful, helicopter pilot Carmen Alig-Hangartner.
Carmen is a police officer and a pilot. She lives in Switzerland and shares some of the most breathtaking videos and pictures of the mountains from a birds eye view. Being a police officer is not easy. It takes physical, mental and emotional strength and training. It also takes hard work and much study to become a pilot. We applaud Carmen for the fine example of courage and strength she sets for young women everywhere. Follow her on Instagram to get inspired today! @helicopterpilot_carmen
