Aviation Day

Women in Aviation International (WAI) is hosting a free event for girls ages 8 to 17 for Girls in Aviation Day. This event will be held on September 23, at the Aviation Technology Center in Indianapolis.
The purpose of this event is to encourage more girls and women to look into aviation and aerospace communities. "There is a shortage of pilots, so having women join would help boost this field," said senior Miles Behringer.
Women in Aviation International is a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping and encouraging women in any aviation field. Many members of this organization are pilots, flight attendants, journalists and so much more. Being the 9th anniversary of Girls in Aviation Day, this one-day event will be a fun and interactive place for girls interested in aviation."[The aviation field] has historically been male," said senior Behringer. "so it's important that women get into aviation."
