Patricia Mawuli was nineteen years old and had just finished high school when she saw an airplane for the first time.
As she was collecting wood in a field outside of her uncle’s house in a rural area of Ghana, Mawuli heard loud noises that she said scared her at first.
“I saw these airplanes flying overhead, but because I was very close to the airfields, I thought the airplanes were chasing me,” she recalled years later.
But Mawuli said her fear did not last long. Before long, she started “to chase them -- to see what they were up to.”
