Untold Story #15: Meet Carla Riner

World's Greatest Women

This woman took her first airplane ride at 5 years old and even at this young age she loved everything about seeing the world from 30,000 feet. When she graduated college, she knew that in the skies was where she wanted to be. But never did she image she would start as a flight attendant and end up being a commercial pilot flying Boeing 787s. And nor could she have ever imagined that her piloting skills would also lead her to flying combat missions in Afghanistan and Iraq.  But the whole world opened up for this woman when she was bold enough to say “why not me”. And as she sees the world from the windshield of an airplane, this woman continues to soar toward greatness. It is my pleasure to introduce you to Carla Riner.
