Anna Walker is believed to be the first female pilot since the war to fly a 2nd World War Hurricane fighter. Anna learned to fly at a very early age – in fact she was flying gliders in her early teens, graduating to aerobatics and eventually flying commercially.  She has already showed her way in many aspects of display flying in her familiar blue and cream Bücker Jungmann and also in Harvards and a P 51.  She has even qualified in glacier flying in the Alps.  She operates her own commercial banner towing business www.skytricks.com and instructs from ab initio PPL pilots to tail wheel conversions.
