With less than two weeks to go before the beginning of Airventure in Oshkosh, WI, women pilots are getting ready to participate to the world's greatest aviation celebration.

Here is a summary of the key events for women pilots:

• July 25-27 - Women Soar You Soar, EAA's educational experience for high school teen girls (more info)
• July 29, 7:30 PM - Theater in the Wood panel of outstanding women pilots
• July 30, 8:00 AM - WAI's Celebrity Women Pilots Breakfast

Monika Petrillo, one of the enthusiastic supporter of our campaign, has never been a person to postpone her dreams. Within a year of getting a pilot's license, she embarked on an flying adventure few ever consider to undertake. She joined a small group of pilots to circumnavigate the continent of Australia.
