Lola Reid Allin

Lola Reid Allin is a trailblazing commercial pilot, author, and advocate for women in aviation. Her journey from a bullied wife to soaring the skies is a testament to resilience and self-empowerment. Breaking free from an abusive marriage, Lola pursued her passion for flying in the 1980s, a time when women made up only 4% of commercial pilots. Defying societal norms, she became a symbol of courage and determination in a male-dominated industry. Through her memoir, HIGHWAY to the SKY, and her work with organizations like the Northern Lights Aero Foundation and the Ninety-Nines, Lola inspires women to challenge barriers, embrace their potential, and navigate life’s turbulence with confidence. Her story is not just about flying but about rising above adversity and leading others to their own skies.
