What People Are Saying
“Life takes Flight is the most fascinating book I have ever read. Captain Lynn Rippelmeyer puts you in the cockpit of her beloved ‘Queen of the Skies’ Boeing 747 and flies you through an amazing career in the skies and on the ground. Reader (aviators or not) will enjoy the aeronautical details, the beauty, the suspense, and humor of Lynn’s writing”
—Ursula M. Davidson, Aviation Institute Founder and Director (retired); The Nintey-Nines International Organization of Women’s Pilots 2022 Achievement Award
“For the reader who wants to laugh, cry, be thoroughly inspired and informed about the life of a commercial airline pilot, Life Takes Flight is a fast-read, page-turner peppered with rare insights and pearls of truth. Presented with humorous but forthright honesty, through a jump-seat ride-along experience, Lynn recounts life as a career commercial airline pilot who ‘made it’, managing motherhood and a few miracles too -- a delightful tale!”
— Brenda Ryan, US Army Captain (former); first female Grumman OV-1D Mohawk pilot and dual -rated civil Commercial Airplane/Helicopter Pilot
“Incredible tenacity and a passion for flying are apparent in Lynn’s telling of her tale, and I’m amazed by the serendipity within it and her willingness to accept life for what it offered, never shying away from a challenge. With her early entry into aviation and her continual curiosity she succeeded in the face of multiple roadblocks. Life Takes Flight offers insight into strength, determination, and the understanding of how to play the game of life and win, big time. You will be much the richer for traveling with Captain Lynn.”
