GHWCC Global Businesswomen’s Pod Episode 84

LYNN RIPPELMEYER
SPEAKER, BEST-SELLING AUTHOR, FIRST WOMAN TO FLY THE BOEÍNG 747 & CAPTAIN A TRANS-OCEANIC FLIGHT

More than just a story of one woman’s love affair with the skies, Life Takes Wings combines lessons in tenacity, humility, humor, perseverance, and partnership with the exhilaration of defying social norms, and the rewards of being true to oneself. Perceived as being incapable of flying, women were relegated to the cabin. Ignoring the pilots negative comments, Lynn became a number of aviation’s female firsts - member of first all-female commercial airline crew, first flight attendant-to-pilot, and first female pilot of the Boeing 747. Through laughter and tears, Life Takes Wings shows the sky is no limit for those who follow their dreams.
