In recognition of her life-long commitment to the aviation sector, her efforts to launch new initiatives to promote aviation equality and her devotion to creating a community of aviation enthusiasts through stories focusing on Women in Aviation, Booker has become the latest recipient of the AeroTime Aviation Achievement Award.

Liz Booker is a retired United States Coast Guard helicopter pilot, foreign diplomat, and writer of Young Adult fiction, dedicated to inspiring the next generation of women in aviation.

In a recent interview, Booker told AeroTime that she dreamt about becoming a pilot since early childhood. Though not from a family of aviators, she nevertheless received the support of close family members who encouraged her to follow her passion.

Booker shared what drew her to a career in search and rescue law enforcement, and her subsequent humanitarian missions across the Caribbean Sea and Eastern Pacific Ocean.
