Oshkosh started with a little excess rain this year. For the first few days, only visions from past Airventure events could fill the space between the few tents on the grass with airplanes. That certainly did not stop five of the participants to the celebration of the Centennial of Women Pilots to respond "present" at our forum, 100 Years of Legacy - Pay It Forward, on Friday morning.

International Learn to Fly Day is a cooperative effort set in motion by the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) of pilots, companies, governments, and organizations in countries around the world to raise interest in flying and encourage current pilots to get others involved in aviation.

This year, in the spirit of the Centennial of Women Pilots, let's make a special effort to introduce a record number of women to aviation during International Learn to Fly Day on May 15.

The February edition of EAA's Sport Aviation magazine has been published. You will find the announcement about our world record attempt to celebrate the Centennial of Licensed Women Pilots on page 13.

If you receive the EAA E-Hotline Newsletter, you probably noticed that it includes an announcement about the Centennial of Licensed Women Pilots event.
