SYNOPSIS 
From air traffic control, to piloting planes, to aircraft maintenance - there are many ways for women to find their wings in Canada's aviation industry. But even as mass labour shortages threaten to take down the industry, women continue to be grossly underrepresented across all disciplines in one of the country's most exciting and fruitful career paths. While examining the barriers preventing women from entering exciting careers in aviation, Taking Flight revisits some of Canada's historic female aviation trailblazers, follows the journeys of present day women on the threshold of their own history-making careers, and captures an industry on its desperate search for the next generation of aviation heroines amidst a looming industry-wide crisis
