Speaker 1: God, it feels like we've been in this cabin for days.
Speaker 2: It's only been half a day.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's half a day too long, Dutchman.
Speaker 2: We have tried that door, the walls, the roof. This
cabin is sturdy. We can't get out.
Speaker 4: I wish I had superpowers like Frost or Superman. The folk.
Speaker 1: I'm stuck here with good flyers, lucky me.
Speaker 2: Hey, hey, hey, I still remember graduating top of my
class and my dad was so proud of me. It
was nineteen eighty five. What I was the only woman
in my class. The guys didn't want me there, but
I stayed and made it through.
Speaker 5: Baby girl, I'm so proud of you.
Speaker 2: Thanks Daddy.
Speaker 5: You are followed in the tradition of your uncle David,
and cousin David and a few others in the family.
Speaker 2: And mom.
Speaker 5: Planes, everything about them, design, the engines. Everything too bad.
She wasn't able to learn how to fly.
Speaker 6: Dana grabs her father's hand.
Speaker 2: You were a great husband to her. She got sick
and never fully recovered. I did this for her her memory.
Speaker 5: Did I ever tell you I was proud of you, Dana?
Speaker 2: You did, but you can say it a hundred times.
They hug so out what I can't fly commercial yet?
Speaker 6: Side note, listeners, American Airlines were the one leading the
charge and hiring women and promoting them as pilots. But
it would be another year after this before we saw
a full female crew. Shout out to Beverly Bass.
Speaker 2: Right now, I'm going to revel in my women today,
and I have one of Uncle David's planes at the field.
Speaker 5: Maybe it's time you find a man who worked towards
giving me grand babies.
Speaker 2: Dad, we have talked about this.
Speaker 5: I know, I know you're part of the new generation
sisters doing for themselves.
Speaker 2: I have to thank Annie, Lennox and Areta for that.
Speaker 5: Let me take you to lunch anywhere you want.
Speaker 2: As long as I'm with you, anywhere is fine.
Speaker 1: Okay, look, okay, sorry if I sound like a bitch,
but all of these touching moments are getting on my nerves.
Speaker 4: Wow, well, Nadia, what is your story?
Speaker 3: My story?
Speaker 6: Yes?
Speaker 4: Your story?
Speaker 6: Wow?
Speaker 1: My story is that I want to get out of
here and take down whoever did this and stop them
from overtaking this area in Colorado.
Speaker 4: The end, the end, Dutchman, you know all superheroes, Nadia
gives them a look. Sorry, heroines have a backstory. I'm
sure our listeners want to know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, do it for the listeners.
Speaker 5: Do it for the listeners.
Speaker 6: Do it for the listeners.
Speaker 4: Who is that nothing?
Speaker 1: Oh my god, Okay, here's my short story. I come
from generations of strong fighters women who are from this
area way before the colonizers.
Speaker 2: Say it.
Speaker 1: Girl, I'm part of the latest generation. And that's it.
Speaker 6: That's it, that's it. Come on, really in there, Odia
gets up.
Speaker 1: I'm going to try and see if I can get
us out of here. Maybe you miss something.
Speaker 6: TFD the Flying Dutchment sits down next to airwomen.
Speaker 4: I do understand her frustration. Me too, we're sitting ducks.
I'm so used to having my plane as my safe place.
Speaker 2: I agree. I feel so powerful while flying it, especially
my uncle's plane.
Speaker 4: I have a confession to make. Okay, I was at
your graduation. Several of us were really Yes, I even
talked to your dad briefly.
Speaker 2: What he never told me?
Speaker 4: That was the plan?
Speaker 6: Nelson, the Flying Dutchman have made it, big hug.
Speaker 4: Of course, me and the guys are over there.
Speaker 5: That's great, and thank you for keeping your distance.
Speaker 4: Professor Nelson. Now that Dana has graduated. You know what
the next step is.
Speaker 5: She mentioned my brother's plane.
Speaker 4: Several of his planes are out there. One is for
David Junior, and one is for any of his kids,
if he has any.
Speaker 5: And one is for Dana.
Speaker 4: It's her destiny and she doesn't know it yet.
Speaker 7: Look, I don't want her mixed up and all that
danger and drama. I watch my brother go down in flames.
Air Boy is just a memory. I don't want my
daughter to become a memory.
Speaker 4: I will give her some time, but you know I
will have to at least talk to her at some point.
Speaker 5: I know I can't stop you.
Speaker 4: Who knows, maybe air girl will be born. Air Girl,
air lady.
Speaker 5: Air lady.
Speaker 7: That sounds just as bad as something like air woman.
