In celebration of America's 250th, the FAA is honoring the pioneers who paved the way for modern aviation. Join us as we visit the National Air and Space Museum to explore the groundbreaking career of Emily Howell Warner. In 1976, Warner made history by becoming the first female captain of a scheduled U.S. airline.

From a young flight enthusiast getting her student pilot license in just three days, to a dedicated certified flight instructor (CFI), and eventually an airline captain with Frontier Airlines, Warner’s perseverance permanently changed the landscape of commercial aviation. Learn more about her inspiring journey and see her original uniform on display at the museum.
