  1. Women Impacting the Aviation Industry AMELIA EARHART AND MORE https://knisleyexhaust.com/blog/women-impacting-aviation-industry/

  2. LINDIE BRUYNS Operations Manager, FlySafair Lindie Bruyns is the operations manager for FlySafair, a low-cost airline based in Johannesburg, South Africa. Bruyns is responsible for managing the daily flight operations and making sure each flight is running according to schedule, and she is certainly good at her job. In fact, FlySafair currently holds the exclusive status of the most on-time airlines in the world, an accomplishment linked directly to Bruyns’ successful management of the airline over the last 3 years. “Women in aviation aren’t limited to the roles of hostesses or administrators – we can contribute to so many other areas of the industry – we simply need to be empowered to do so.” Source: https://knisleyexhaust.com/blog/women-impacting-aviation-industry/ Image Source: http://bit.ly/2mn3RJx

  3. DR. SAMANTHA “SAM” MAGILL, PH.D Aerospace Engineer, Honda Aircraft Company Interested in aircraft since a very young age, Dr. Magill has been catching the attention of experts in the aviation industry since she was in high school. From Virginia Tech, to Germany, and back to Greensboro, North Carolina, Magill’s civil and aerospace engineering expertise has taken her all over the world. "You have to be flexible to take up to accept the changes that are going on and be aware of them. So be open-minded be willing to listen" Not only did she specialize in stability and control in the engineering flight test and fine-tuning of the HA-420 HondaJet, Magill also serves on the Board of Trustees of Guilford Technical Community College where she continues to push an academic affairs agenda. But Magill’s leadership in the aviation industry doesn’t stop there; she has also played a major role in Honda Aircraft’s sponsorship of the Women Soar, You Soar program for girls in high school, at EAA AirVenture.

  4. REFILWE LEDWABA Pilot, South Africa She's the first black woman to earn an Airline Transport Pilot’s License for helicopters in South Africa and join the force as its very first black operational helicopter pilot. And similar to how Dr. Magill feels a responsibility to lead the way for other women and girls aspiring to succeed in the aviation industry, Ledwaba is also doing her part as a role model. So with the goal of providing both mentorship and financial support to young women and girls seeking to earn their wings, in 2009 Ledwaba started the South Africa Women in Aviation and Aerospace Non-Profit Organization. "There are still major gender challenges for women in the aviation and aerospace industry, women in technical fields are not trusted to be as competent as men – this stereotypical thinking will be overcome by focusing on excellence, competence, and hard work."

  5. AMELIA EARHART Amelia's flying accomplishments proved influential to American pilots and pilots of the world alike. She was a creative impulse within the Ninety-Nines organization, and a stimulus for womankind to replace outdated social norms. She encouraged women to hold fast to their beliefs, follow their hearts, and always dare to dream. "The more women fly, the more who become pilots, the quicker we will be recognized as an important factor in aviation," By becoming the first woman to cross the Atlantic in an airplane, Amelia gained immediate fame. She is still remembered as the outstanding female pilot of her time. She did not, however, seek to set herself apart from other female pilots. Several female pilots, including the French Baroness Raymonde de Laroche, Bessica Raiche, Blanche Stuart Scott, Harriet Quimby, Laura Bromwell, Katherine Stinson, and Bessie Coleman helped pave the way for female aviators.  Source: http://www.ameliaearhartmuseum.org/AmeliaEarhart/AEAviator.htm
