Ready, Set… Fly!

…or write, or draw, or snap pictures of the Women Of Aviation.

Hello,

Tomorrow (Monday) is the first day of the first ever annual Women Of Aviation Worldwide Week!

Who will win the Most Dedicated Woman Pilot and the Most Dedicated Female Flight Instructor titles? Who will win the Most Supportive Male pilot and the Most Supportive Male Flight Instructor titles? Who will win the Most Unusual Introductory Flight award? And, which airport will be crowned the 2011 Most Female Pilot Friendly Airport in the World?

We will know soon!

Who will write the best essay or poem? Who will create the best art? And, who will take the best photograph of the current Women Of Aviation or the ones discovering aviation during this special week?

Thanks to our 15 sponsors, over 120 prizes are awaiting generous pilots and daring girls and women including cash prizes for pilots introducing 5 or more girls or women to flying anywhere in the world between March 7 and March 13, 2011.

So, will you join pilots everywhere who are standing up for diversity in aviation? Will you introduce a girl or a woman to flying during Women Of Aviation Worldwide Week?

So, this coming week, pick a sunny day and go do what pilots do. FLY. But don't fly alone, take along a girl or a woman along and change her life!

Don’t forget that to win the prizes, you must file your flight report, enter your essay/poem, art, or photo in the contests before March 17, 2011, midnight Pacific Time at www.WomenOfAviationWeek.org.

Thank you for making an amazing difference.

Counting down to the beginning of WOAW Week

In just a little over 7 days, we will celebrate the 100th anniversary of International Women’s Day and the 101st anniversary of the first female pilot license worldwide. Are you ready?

Just today, we added another great prize for pilots who introduce 5 or more girls or women to flying - $150 USD towards a first seaplane flight lesson offered by SeaplaneForum.com. Cool.

So many prizes for the pilots and for the girls and women they introduce. Please use the power of the purse to support all our sponsors who are celebrating with us.

Also, just today, Southern Interior Flight Centre in Kelowna, BC, announced that they are offering a “Free Day on Us” every single day of WOAW Week. Many more events will be added to the already existing events in many countries on several continents. Check the website or our Facebook page often, things are hapening fast.

On the 100th anniversary of International Women’s Day, individuals and flight schools around the world will celebrate the Women Of Aviation in a BIG way!

I want to thank you for spreading the word. The website statistics are reflecting your effectiveness. Please keep spreading the word. Together, we will send a powerful message and we will be heard.

Women of Aviation Worldwide Week is a week of awareness and action. As you are getting ready to fly in celebration, don’t forget to involve your local media. Our actions can instill awareness much farther if our message is heard far beyond the airport fence.

Yes, there are trophies. Yes, there are many prizes. Yes, we are going to have fun. However, shaping the face of tomorrow’s aviation industry, one life at a time, is our common goal.

Thank you for your support and your dedication.
