What's it like to fly and to teach others how to fly? Listen as Cat Adam, the world's only Level 4 female ifly instructor. 

Raised in the city of Inverness, Catriona Adam witnessed the Golden Lions (the Scottish Military Parachute Team) gracefully diving into a field near her home and was immediately hooked. Her goal to focus her life on skydiving led her to Glasgow University, where she led the school’s skydiving team as captain. A star athlete in traditional skydiving, she became interested in working with vertical wind tunnels after her dream propelled her to find new ways grow and push her limits after graduation. After becoming a Level 1 Instructor at an iFLY owned Airkix wind tunnel near London, she was off to instruct in Dubai. Hired to instruct mostly women first-time flyers in the United Arab Emirates, she taught the Crown Prince’s daughters and their friends the basics of flying before moving to an Airkix tunnel in Manchester. An opportunity to pursue the path to Level 4 certification opened at the iFLY tunnel in Seattle, and Adam jumped at the chance to set the bar higher.

Today, Adam trains new groups of IBA instructors at iFLY Seattle. Her dedication to iFLY’s mission to bring the dream of flight to anyone in a safe environment is passed on to the classes she now educates. Adam refuses to be confined by the limits the world tries to set, and lives a life that proves any young woman can clear any hurdle with a mix of passion, dedication, and belief in herself.
