Survey: Why Aren't More Women In Aviation? from AVwebFlash Current Issue | A two-year study has identified barriers that stop women from learning to fly and produced suggestions to increase the number of female pilots. The study was performed by Penny Hamilton, Ph.D., and included 296 surveys or personal interviews, women pilots and student pilots, females who did not complete their flight training, and instructors of both genders.

Rebuilding a wooden warbird, however, is not a speedy process since much of the original aircraft had to be thrown away and built from scratch, including the tools and equipment required for the restoration…
