Friday Flyer(s): Young ladies
taking the step beyond the normal, stepping out of their comfort zone, and into an exploration of a career in Aviation.
July 26-29 2012, at EAA Oshkosh
EAA's Women Soar You Soar is the ideal place for high school girls to find out what it's
like to fly an airplane, or soar into space. This unique program in the heart of Oshkosh introduces girls with
women, from engineers to fighter pilots, working in a variety of aviation and
aerospace fields. It's an event filled with career exploration, discover,
inspiration, and fun. And the reason I’m in Oshkosh this week.
Counselors and Mentors are striving to engage, inspire, and
educate young women to pursue their dreams in aviation and beyond. The women I
met yesterday were an inspiration—both mentors and students. But for today,
meet some of the ladies from our first session..
The smiles speak volumes. More to come...
Enjoy the Journey!

The smiles... Definitely something that aviation does to a person with a dream and passion for it. I hope they all find what they are searching for and soar with it!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment Jeremy. They will all soar, no matter what direction the wind blows.
DeleteWhat fantastic fresh faces and enthusiasm. This is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteThanks Linda. Yes... it is!
DeleteWhat an amazing program! The smiles do indeed speak volumes.
ReplyDeleteThey sure do. And I'm thinking you need a YA in a plane. :)
DeleteMy daughter just returned home from her second year at Women Soar. It is truly an amazing program. The girls come home so motivated and empowered to change their world. The mentora re amazing! Thank you to everyone for your hard work!
ReplyDeleteI am so glad your daughter is home and empowered. This was my first year with women soar, and I will definitely do it again. To see these amazing young ladies grow through the week is powerful. Just being there was an incredible experience.
DeleteAnd thank you for sending your daughter. If it wasn't for the parents providing the opportunity to attend, the program wouldn't be the success it is. Thank you!
