#InnovatorSpotlight: OTD in 1911, Matilde Moisant became the the 2nd woman to earn her pilot's license. Hats off to a woman who defined "pushing the envelope through innovation," one of SmartSky's four corporate values. For example, Moisant caused a stir by flying her airplane on a Sunday against the wishes of Nassau County police. According to the New York Times, Moisant escaped in part because 'an indignant crowd of 300 citizens' beat back the police in a riot that lasted nearly a half hour. A later attempt by the sheriff to serve Moisant with a warrant failed when the Justice of Peace said he could see nothing wrong with flying on a Sunday. Hear, hear! Thanks to the National Air and Space Museum, Smithsonian Institution for the story! https://lnkd.in/e6xJxu5v
