We don’t know what the deal is with Sweden, but there’s now a trifecta of sexy Swedish commercial jet pilots with smoldering Instagram feeds.

Last one in my trilogy of pineapples 🍍🍍🍍 (see two previous posts). What should be my next fruit theme…melons? 😂🍉😂 Just kidding! Feeling super happy in my @flexilexi_fitness pineapple pants, how funny that the color and prints on a pair of yoga pants can make your whole mood towards workouts better. I mean, who wouldn't crack a laugh if you had these bad pineapples next to you on yoga class 😂😂

Maria Pettersson is the most recent beauty to catch our eye with her incredible yoga ability.

Full credit to @pete_ohara for shooting and cutting this! I had a blast, and so excited to share more yoga with you (for full video, link in bio🔝or at www.youtube.com/pilotmaria) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Flow inspired by my morning stretch routine. I've been doing this for the past 7 years, always changing depending on how my body feels and what parts I need to focus on, mind or physical. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Focus and being alert is something that I have to deal with everyday at work, you can't have a “bad” day when responsible for almost 200 passengers, taking them safely to their destination. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Music through SoundCloud – imgracemitchell/runaway 🙏 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Wearing @flexilexi_fitness and @victoriasport

Best of all, the Miami-based babe is tight with Malin Rydqvist and Maria Fagerström, the aforementioned high-flying Swedish stunners.

It makes me so proud that my closest girlfriends and I are pursuing our dreams to be pilots. Hopefully we inspire younger generations with similar aspirations to do the same, follow your dreams and know that nothing is impossible, if you can dream it you can do it ❤️ @mariathepilot @flymalin Read about how I achieved my dreams on www.pilotmaria.com Thank you @pete_ohara for taking this picture 🙏

When she’s not soaring the skies or hitting the downward dog at any number of exotic locales, Pettersson stays busy writing about her travels on her lifestyle blog. What we love most, though, is her fiery Instagram feed. Here’s a sampling:

How many bikinis can one bring for a trip to Bali? 😂😂 This is one of my absolute favourites 🙌 Get yours and much more using the link in my bio, if you add coupon code “pilotmaria” it'll give you an additional 5 dollars off from every 30 spent 👌

So first day of vacation started as first day of vacation should…. Wake-up 07:00 in the morning by construction workers drilling outside 👷 Lucky me love early mornings ☀️Got up, packed my yoga bag and went to my favourite outdoor yoga spot for a morning routine. Finished it off by practising handstands. I started practicing handstands earlier this summer but decided to start doing it for real now and it's really rewarding! I love the progress 🙏 Three seconds balancing so far 😂✌️Vacation goal is to be able to do it as nicely as @sjanaelise ❤️ Long way to go but gotta aim for the stars to reach the tree tops ☀️😉🙌 Feeling playful in my @flexilexi_fitness 🍍🍍

As a kid my mum taught me that it is always something positive in every situation, I try to live my life accordingly. Sometimes you just have to look a little closer, or wait a little longer 🙏

It’s been a short working week, two days on and now seven days off. I can´t wait to meet up with everyone on the 30th for a couple of days of fun with @gopro 🙌 It won't be as warm as in this picture but hopefully as sunny #9royals 🏂⛷️ But first to Sweden to pick up ski gear and give my mum and dad a huge hug! ❤️
