Meet Fatima Ajus, Nigerian Female Aircraft Mechanic

When she puts on her overall, she’s like one of the guys, Her feminine features are hidden by her guise. She’s now free to get dirty, and get covered in grease, tackling a big engine, whose horsepower did cease. Manoeuvring under an aircraft, can be hard with boobs, the guys like to have fun, by calling her moobs. But her skills are admired. Mechanic is her passion, when she’s working on an aircraft, who cares about fashion. To revive an engine, and make it run sweet. To fix an aircraft, that’s pretty neat. But when she is finished, all showered and clean, she has a beauty that is not often seen. Photo and text by Fatima Ajus.
