Laura was inspired by her father to become a pilot herself, but she'd never had the chance to fly with her father before because they worked for different airlines.

She told the Daily Mail: "Becoming a pilot was never something I had considered, even though Dad had been a pilot since before I was born."

"'I thought that Dad would have retired by the time I got back to work and so we thought that we'd never get the opportunity."
