Lorena Skyrunner Bustamante

About

Lorena Skyrunner Bustamante is a daring glider pilot who dances with the winds, refusing the ease of powered flight. Her eyes hold the secrets of the skies and her heart beats with the rhythm of the thermals.

Backstory

The first time Lorena saw a glider soar, she knew she had to feel that silence, that purity. She traded her college savings for flight lessons, much to her family's dismay. Her first solo flight was a baptism by fire, navigating a sudden storm that tested her mettle and deepened her respect for the skies. She now spends her days chasing thermals, teaching others the art of gliding, and sharing stories of the clouds' ever-changing moods. Her glider, a sleek Schleicher ASW 27, is her most treasured possession, a testament to her love for the unpowered flight.
