It’s hard to find something to talk about when the name Hella Comat comes up, but not because there is nothing to mention. The problem is the Halton native has so much going on.
As the first woman to win a Canadian National Aerobatic Championship, you could say Hella knows a thing or two about flying. Earning her Canadian pilot’s license in 1975, Hella has been flying ever since. If that isn’t enough, she started as an aerobatic competitor in 2008 and has competed in 38 competitions in the Canada and the US.
What is Aerobatics you ask? It basically involves stunts performed in flight by an airplane, such as loops, rolls or spins. Not for the faint of heart.
Hella’s accomplishments are not just limited to the air. As a teacher for more than 30 years, Hella was the recipient of the 1997 Prime Minister’s Award for Teaching Excellence in Science, Technology, and Mathematics. Add published writer and accomplished speaker to the list and you’ve only just got her figured out.
Egg Farmers of Ontario is proud to support Hella Comat and all of her aerobatic maneuvers.
