86 years old (Born on July 13, 1938)
Happy Birthday, Sheila Widnall! You soared into history as the first woman to lead an entire branch of the U.S. military—proving once and for all that aerospace isn't rocket science... oh wait, actually it is!From pioneering groundbreaking research in aerodynamics at MIT to steering our Air Force through turbulent skies from 1993-1997, you've always been ahead of your time (and altitude). Your legacy continues inspiring generations who now know there's no glass ceiling when you're flying above clouds.
Here's wishing you a birthday filled with laughter—and may gravity never hold back someone who's spent her life defying limits!
