SocialFlight Live & Cockpit2Cowl

Beginning as a flight attendant for TWA, Lynn Rippelmeyer blazed an unprecedented path from the cabin to the cockpit. She became a pilot, setting a number of firsts along the way; from the first all-female crew of a scheduled airline in 1977, to the first female captain of the transatlantic Boeing 747 in 1984. During her career, she flew aircraft ranging from a cub on amphibious floats, to the DeHavilland Twin Otter and Boeing airliners including the 727, 737, 747 and 787. Her decades long career paved the way toward gender equality in the airlines and remains an icon for young women looking towards the skies to this day. Her uniform resides in the Smithsonian Museum. Her two books: Life Takes Wings, and the about to be released sequel Life Takes Flight are absolutely outstanding and I literally could not put them down.
