Edison said she was proud of her daughter, who followed in her footsteps and became an Air Force pilot before joining FedEx.

McCallister said she looked up to her mother as a role model and admired how she balanced her career and motherhood.

They said they were grateful for the opportunity to fly together and to celebrate their bond.

“It was just an amazing experience to be able to do something that we both love and to do it together,” Edison said.
