“Don’t let the fear of falling keep you from flying.” ✈️✈️✈️
Female pilots aren’t just breaking through clouds—they’re breaking barriers. The sky was never the limit—it’s just the beginning. 👩‍✈️💪

Jeanne Holm was the first woman to be promoted to Brig Gen in the USAF. In the 1960s and 70s she was a strong advocate for opening more roles to women in the military, including pilot training and combat. She retired as a 2-star.

Dr. Mae Jemison’s groundbreaking journey as the first African American woman in space was not a gift—it was the result of years of hard work, intellect, and perseverance.

When she launched aboard the Space Shuttle Endeavour in 1992, she didn’t just break barriers—she redefined what is possible.
