Women With Wings Chapter
Scott Air Force base was the site
of the March meeting of the Women With Wings (WWW) Chapter.
Members and guests were escorted through the Air Traffic Controller tower, the high-tech ATC training simulator, the Heritage Hall
museum and the hangar for C-21s.
Colonel peggy phillips (WAI #28228),
a member of WWW, was the
group’s escort and commentator
for a portion of the tour.
The April meeting was the annual chapter membership meeting.
It was held in the home of treasurer eve Cascella (WAI #29490). The
chapter celebrated a year of achievements, which included successful fund-raising, increasing
the members’ knowledge of aviation through tours, lectures and seminars, involvement in the
community, projecting the image of women in aviation to the general public and placing an emphasis on general aviation throughout the year. The chapter’s efforts must have been worthy because the membership has grown throughout this past fiscal year.
Keri evans (WAI #10902) was this year’s Chapter scholarship recipient. Although she is a
commercial pilot, she wishes to enhance her skills by taking glider training.
Several members supported the Centennial of Licensed Women Pilots by introducing a
non-pilot woman to the thrill of flying—what a great adventure! The goal of the event is for
women pilots to make 2,010 introductions to aviation for women who are not pilots, all in
2010. Several of the WWW chapter members hope to contribute to that goal. ✈
