Excellent- More about High Flyers: 15 Inspiring Women Aviators and Astronauts
15 women fly outside the lines. Soar beside Black Hawk helicopter pilot turned politician Tammy Duckworth, hot air balloonist Edgora McEwan, or medevac pilot Dede Murawsky. Higher up, meet commercial and military aviators such as the Coast Guards Ronaqua Russell, the first African American female to receive the prestigious Air Medal for her rescue efforts during Hurricane Harvey. Others share their experiences in military high-performance jets, the Stratotanker, or while flying for the Blue Angels.

These remarkable women have defied the odds and taken to the skies in a variety of roles, from Black Hawk helicopter pilot turned politician Tammy Duckworth to hot air balloonist Edgora McEwan and medevac pilot Dede Murawsky. As we climb higher, we meet commercial and military aviators like Coast Guards Ronaqua Russell, the first African American female to receive the prestigious Air Medal for her rescue efforts during Hurricane Harvey.
Next, we join Tammie Jo Shults, who experienced a catastrophic engine failure while commanding 148 people aboard Southwest Flight 1380. Other women share their experiences in military high-performance jets, the Stratotanker, and flying for the Blue Angels.
But these women's adventures don't stop there. They have ventured beyond Earth's limits, launching in the cramped Russian rocket, the Soyuz, orbiting Earth while conducting critical science experiments, or living aboard the International Space Station.
In each of their stories, these women faced obstacles and persevered through adversity. They refused to give up, insisting on success and achieving their dreams of flight.
These diverse high-flyers are not just dreamers but also doers, who have proven that soaring is possible, despite the odds. Their stories inspire us all to push ourselves beyond our limits and pursue our passions, no matter what challenges we may face.
