2019 Women Can Fly
Women Can Fly
A series of six Women Can Fly events will take place across the Commonwealth of Virginia this year. Each event will include a variety of experiences including aircraft static displays, facility tours, simulation opportunities, and a flight in a general aviation aircraft. By providing information with hands-on experiences, and demonstrating the sheer fun of flight, the goal is to encourage participants to consider learning to fly for fun or as a career. Today women pilots represent only 7% of the total pilot population and Women Can Fly would like to increase this number.
Women Can Fly is co-sponsored by The Ninety-Nines (International Organization of Women Pilots), Virginia Department of Aviation and participating airports. There is no charge to participate.
