   STUDENT PILOTS HOSPITALIZED

Friends of the young flight instructor who died in a plane crash in Virginia
Thursday said her lifelong dream was to become a commercial pilot and called her
a legend for working toward it.

Viktoria Theresie Izabelle Ljungman, 23, died in the crash when an 18-year-old
student pilot she was instructing pulled the small plane up at too steep an
angle at takeoff — which caused the engine to stall and the aircraft to plummet
from about 100 feet.

“I remember when I first met her, that’s all she ever wanted to do. She wanted
to be a commercial pilot,” Charlie Hudson, who played tennis with Ljungman at
Hampton University, told the Daily Press.

Ljungman, who was from Sweden, attended Hampton University in Virginia and
earned her pilot license in March 2021, followed by her flight instructor
license this April.

Viktoria Theresie Izabelle Ljungman, 23, attended Virginia’s Hampton University
on a tennis scholarship, eventually becoming a flight instructor. Instagram

Her former college roommate at Hampton, Myana Mabry, said she was proud of her
for following her dreams and would often brag about her accomplishments to other
students.

“To know ‘Hey, my roommate is a legend — not a legend in the making, but a
legend,'” Mabry told WAVY. “It was just so commendable and so rewarding to see
her dreams become a reality.”

The plane’s engine stalled in midair after the student pilot attempted to ascend
at too steep an angle. AP

Ljungman documented her “journey to become an airline pilot” on her Instagram
account “viktoriathepilot,” where she shared photos and videos from the cockpit.

“She was just … such a pure soul that she seemed so innocent,” Hudson told the
Daily Press. “How she presents herself on social media … was how she was in
person. I think that’s quite rare these days, to find someone who’s like for
like, both in person and online.”

Mabry said her former roommate was loved by everyone she met at the university.

Charlie Hudson, who played on the men’s tennis team, called Ljungman “family”
and said being a commercial pilot was “all she ever wanted to do.” Instagram /

“She just was her being so authentic, people were naturally drawn to her,” she
told WAVY.

Hudson also remembered her for her positive personality that drew others in.

“I don’t remember her ever not smiling,” he said. “She was just contagious in
her energy, just lovely to be around.”

The plane’s engine stalled in midair after the student pilot attempted to ascend
at too steep an angle. AP

The single-engine Cessna 172, carrying Ljungman, the student pilot Oluwagbohunmi
Ayomide Oyebode and another unidentified 18-year-old student, crashed around 3
p.m. in a ditch at Newport News-Williamsburg Airport.

The two 18-year-olds, current students at Hampton University, were taken to
Riverside Regional Medical Center with serious injuries. Oyebode was later
transferred to VCU Medical Center in Richmond.

Ljungman’s graduating class at Hampton is working to organize donations to her
family, Mabry said.
