Women Can Fly events introduce aviation to girls and women of all ages in Virginia. Events provide a variety of enjoyable experiences, including aircraft static displays, tours of airport facilities and aviation museums, and a free 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 fly recreationally, become a private pilot, or pursue a career in aviation. Representatives from the airlines, military, business and recreational aviation will be invited to showcase aviation’s diverse field for career opportunities.

Women Can Fly is co-sponsored by The Ninety-Nines, Inc. (International Organization of Women Pilots), Virginia Department of Aviation, and participating Virginia airports.
