Aviation may be a male-dominated industry, but the women are making inroads.
In Episode 15 of the Airplane Geeks Podcast, we welcome Lynn Gardner as our guest. Lynn is a life-long aviation buff, a Citation X pilot, and a consultant for corporate and sport aviation. She knows the industry and has a lot to say about it.
Listen in - no iPod necessary!
You can find many sites by and for woman aviators at the Women in Aviation page of ThirtyThousand Feet.

Over the years I have seen an increase in women in aviation, and it is great to see them achieve success in our profession.
But women have been involved in aviation for a long time, and Hanna Reitsch was a role model for women pilots in WWII.
"and Hanna Reitsch was a role model for women pilots in WWII."
Well, for German ones anyway.

Please help spread the word about the film screening of "She Should Have Gone to the Moon" on Sunday, Nov. 9 7:30PM as part of the Dallas Video Festival at the Angelika Film Center at Mockingbird Station in Dallas. The film tells the tale of Jerri Truhill, a Mercury 13 female astronaut, who "should have gone to the moon."
She Should Have Gone to the Moon by Ulrike Kubatta
Jerri Truhill was part of the top secret Mercury 13 program - NASA’s plan to put a woman into space. She never made it. Part documentary and part musing as archival footage, interviews and lyrical re-enactments attempt to bridge the gap between now and then.
Jerri Truhill will be in attendance.
