Soaring High: Celebrating Women in Aviation

Introduction: In the vast expanse of the sky, where dreams take flight and possibilities are endless, women have played a pivotal role in shaping the landscape of aviation. Despite historical barriers and stereotypes, women have defied gravity, excelling in various roles within the aviation industry. This blog aims to celebrate the remarkable achievements of women in aviation, shedding light on their contributions and inspiring future generations to reach for the skies.

Historical Perspective: The journey of women in aviation dates back to the early 20th century when pioneers like Amelia Earhart and Bessie Coleman defied societal norms and soared into the male-dominated world of aviation. Earhart, the first female aviator to fly solo across the Atlantic, and Coleman, the first African-American woman to hold a pilot's license, set the stage for a new era of possibilities.

Breaking Barriers: The aviation industry, historically dominated by men, has seen a gradual shift with more women breaking through the barriers. Today, women can be found in various roles, including pilots, engineers, air traffic controllers, mechanics, and executives. Organizations like the Ninety-Nines, founded by Amelia Earhart, continue to support and empower women in aviation, fostering a sense of community and mentorship.

Pioneering Aviators: Women aviators have continued to make history with groundbreaking achievements. Eileen Collins, the first female Space Shuttle pilot and commander, exemplifies the heights women can reach in aerospace. Additionally, Peggy Whitson holds the record for the longest cumulative time spent in space by an American astronaut, showcasing the resilience and dedication of women in space exploration.

Commercial Aviation: In recent decades, more women have taken to the skies as commercial pilots, challenging the gender norms in this traditionally male-dominated profession. Airlines around the world are actively working to increase the representation of women in the cockpit, recognizing the valuable contributions they bring to the industry. The achievements of Captain Tammie Jo Shuts, who successfully landed Southwest Airlines Flight 1380 after an engine failure, highlight the skill and competence of women in critical situations.

Engineering and Innovation: Women have also made significant contributions to aviation engineering and innovation. Engineers like Elsie McGill, known as the "Queen of the Hurricanes," played a crucial role in aircraft design during World War II. Today, women continue to be at the forefront of aerospace engineering, contributing to advancements in technology, materials, and sustainability.

Challenges and Opportunities: Despite the progress, challenges remain, and there is still work to be done to achieve gender equality in aviation. Encouraging more girls to pursue STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) education and providing mentorship programs can help bridge the gender gap and create a more inclusive industry.

Conclusion: Women in aviation have come a long way, breaking barriers, achieving milestones, and inspiring future generations. Their contributions have shaped the aviation industry and paved the way for a more inclusive and diverse future. As we celebrate the achievements of women in aviation, let us continue to support and encourage the next generation of female aviators, ensuring that the sky remains limitless for all.

True 💯 - - -

Great pilots are made not born. . . . A man may possess good eyesight, sensitive hands, and perfect coordination, but the end result is only fashioned by steady coaching, much practice, and experience.

TIL about Elevated Access, an organization of licensed pilots who are providing FREE air transportation to people who need abortion healthcare or gender-affirming healthcare.

Elevated Access has the full details of how it works for passengers at their website but the short form is:

You contact an abortion/gender-affirming care support organization (like the Midwest Access Coalition)

(If the organization doesn’t know about Elevated Access, and a ~100-600 mile direct flight might help you get access to the healthcare you need, then let the support organization know about Elevated Access!)

The organization works with Elevated Access to find a pilot and schedule the flight

Elevated Access connects you and your pilot, and you arrange any final details.

You meet the pilot at a small airport (no TSA, no lines, and you don’t have to tell anyone why you’re there). Then you travel from your state with bans to a state where you can get your care.

These aircraft can cost ~$100~400/hr to operate but by FAA law, the pilots cannot receive compensation for these volunteer services. They’re just donating their time, abilities, money, and aircraft for the cause.

These aren’t commercial airline flights, they’re what’s called General Aviation, which means “small” planes and often private pilots. As a licensed pilot w/ about 200 hours flying time in this world I’ll just say that’s a GOOD thing. There are many more GA airports than big commercial hubs, so no matter where you’re located or where you need to go, chances are there’s a small airport within 20 miles. Think of it like a road trip but with a much better view :)

Full article here.

Hazel Ah Ying Lee (43-W-4) was the 1st Chinese American woman to join the WASP during World War II.

Lee fell in love with flying at a time when less than 1% of American pilots were women.

She learned about an opportunity to fly military aircraft by training to become a #WASP. She applied and was accepted to begin formal training at Avenger Field in Sweetwater, Texas.

Lee was considered by her peers to be a fine aviator with an added strong, fun personality. Former WASP Anna (Flynn) Monkiewicz, 93, of The Dalles, Ore., was stationed with Lee in Michigan. She recalls Hazel being a prankster and a nice person.

In her lifetime, she flew more than 70 different aircraft and died doing what she loved: flying.

Thank you to the Oregon Dept. of Veterans Affairs (ODVA) and Mike Allegre for providing this amazing story.

Consider contributing to our WASP documentary by donating to our campaign: http://ow.ly/V5T150Gj3i0
