Career

Fanny "Shotty" Chollet graduated from Pully High School with a baccalaureate in biology and chemistry.[7][8] She performed her military service in the aviation troops at the military airfields Payerne, Dübendorf and Alpnach. In 2012 Chollet was selected as a military pilot for the Swiss Air Force and joined the Pilot Class 11 in the Swiss Air Force Pilot School in Emmen. She completed the first part of her education by earning a civilian commercial pilot license with instrument rating (CPL/IR) with airline transport pilot license theory (frozen ATPL) from Swiss Aviation Training (SAT, now Lufthansa Aviation Training) and a Bachelor of Science in Aviation from the Zurich University of Applied Sciences (ZHAW) in Winterthur. This was followed by one-year stints on the PC-7 and the PC-21. She is the first woman to fly the Pilatus PC-21. In December 2017 she received her military pilot's license.[9]

In early 2018, she began her F/A-18 training in the simulator and with F/A-18D double-seaters. On March 18, she completed her first solo flight in an F/A-18C (single-seater). She is assigned to the Fliegerstaffel 18 squadron in Payerne.[9] She is fluent in French, English, German, and Swiss German.

Chollet is a member of the Appa (L'Andociation pour la Promotion du Patrimoine Aéronautique).[10] In addition, she campaigned in 2020 as an ambassador for the “Swiss Tecladies” program.[11] She was committed to the campaign for the procurement of new combat aircraft.[12]
