Chenre Yeshe, 21, is one of nine children from a herder's family in Damshung county in Lhasa, capital of the Tibet autonomous region. Her new job as a helicopter pilot makes her hometown proud.

"Once I flew a helicopter back to Damshung county, and my fellow villagers said I was like a fairy flying in the blue sky, and that I was the pride of Damshung," she said.

Chenre Yeshe is the first female pilot at Lhasa Snow Eagle General Aviation, a joint venture founded by the Lhasa government and Ruoer General Aviation Development Group - better known as Ruohang - which is based in Nanjing, Jiangsu province.
