Captain Lynn Rippelmeyer
Captain Lynn's journey from working as a TWA flight attendant on the newly acquired 747, to becoming the first woman to fly the Queen of the Skies, is a tale of perseverance, audacity, and heart-warming humor.
This was no easy task for a young woman in the 1970’s. In her soon-to-be-released memoir, Lynn takes you along on her journey of challenges and accomplishments within the airline industry when there were few female airline pilots.
During times of harassment and uncertainty, wonderful people appeared to provide guidance….just when they were needed.
