Nobi (Bobbie) Buntin

flyGIRL & Sporty’s award a $4,000 flight training scholarship to Nobi Buntin. She was one of 315 applicants and will use her funds to obtain her CFI rating. Nobi has overcome an injury from clear air turbulence that ended her flight attendant career with Delta airlines. Before that, she had her eye on the cockpit and decided she would go for it. She faced earthquakes, tsunamis while living in Japan. Eventually, after successfully founding several schools, she moved to Hawaii. It wouldn’t be long before her love of travel put her in this sky once more. This time, as the pilot! She is known by friends and family as someone who thrives on helping others. She gives by whatever means possible time and time again. Her desire to help others and can-do attitude has her dreaming of becoming a medevac pilot some day.
