Let’s go fly in Oshawa, ON

There were so many articles in the local and main media that I am still trying to catch up to create a list. What a great communication job each one of you did. And that’s not all. Many of the 707 girls and women who went on their first flight during the 2011 Women Of Aviation Worldwide week (nearly 1% of the women pilot population worldwide) shared the photos of their first flights on various popular social media websites. Our message was heard well beyond the airport fence.

More than just introductory flights. Some museums had special exhibits about the women of aviation, several offered an opportunity to meet and listen to some prominent women of aviation, at some airports, local girls and women were given an opportunity to meet all-female flight crews who flew in, and at other airports, the week was celebrated with big girl hangar flying parties. Thousands of girls and women got a chance to witness that women do have a place in aviation.
