Captain Lynn Rippelmeyer — From TWA Stewardess to Pioneering 747 Captain

Saison 5 · Épisode 24

lundi 22 décembre 2025 • Durée 01:35:04

Send us Fan Mail

Pioneering airline pilot Lynn Rippelmeyer reflects on her extraordinary journey from being hired as a TWA stewardess in the early 1970s to becoming one of the first women to fly the Boeing 747, and later retiring from United Airlines after a career shaped both by deregulation, mergers, and furloughs, and by generosity, unexpected opportunities, and adventure.

We talk about her two-part memoir, beginning with Life Takes Wings, which traces her path from the cabin to the flight deck at a time when women were told — explicitly — that they didn’t belong there. Lynn shares unforgettable stories from the cockpit, including a laugh-out-loud reading involving a seeing-eye dog, Florida mud, and an entire airport watching it unfold. In Life Takes Flight, the adventures continue as she pursues her flying career, takes a break to raise a family, and then returns to flying as a single mom.

This episode also explores:

The transition from “stewardess” to “flight attendant” and what that shift meant culturally
Being told women couldn’t fly “the heavies” — and proving otherwise
The mentors (and gatekeepers) who shaped her career
How discovering the WASP later in life reframed everything she’d been told
Why writing her story became a responsibility, not just a creative act
How her flying career ultimately led to humanitarian work in Honduras and the founding of a nonprofit

Lynn’s story sits at the intersection of aviation, feminism, labor history, and storytelling — and it’s one every aspiring aviator (and writer) should hear.

We’re jumping ahead in the process in this excerpt from my interview with book publicist Jennifer Coburn. Once you publish your book, you’re probably going to want to sell it. Some publishers will include a budget for book launch promotion, and others won’t. In this clip, Jennifer, who is the author of eight of her own books, worked as Robing Kardon’s publicist for the launch of her Flygirl series. Jenn tells us what that process and timeline look like, and how much it might cost. All things you’ll want to think about when envisioning the full picture of what writing and publishing your book looks like. You can find the full interview in The Aviatrix Writers Room on my website or YouTube Channel from August of 2021.
