This looks like a great event. Is there any way members of the general public can attend? I do not see any links to make reservations.

Comment on Honoring Women AirForce Service Pilots (WASPs) by Victoria Jones

I would like to thank the women who so bravely helped our country in a time of war. I just recently learned about them from my Women’s History class and it brought tears to my eyes to hear how much they contributed & waited so painstackingly long to even be recognized let alone honored for their efforts. I put 2+2 together after my history class & my father’s (flight examiner for the FAA) stories of the 99s; these amazing women who would come to his seminars.

I know that I speak for my class as well as my fantastic Professor Ms. Williams when I say, “Thank You Ladies!!!”

Hi Mark,

I was the pilot who flew with your Mom to Alaska and spent many exhilerating hours in your Dakota.

Just read your story and want to congratulate you on your handling of the very unsettling (to put it mildly) situation on your first solo.

Every incident like this is an opportunity for we pilots to learn an important lesson and and ask yourself (or discuss it with your instructor) is there anything I would do differently if a similar situation arose. Fly the airplane, which you remembered, but gaining more altitude before trying to resolve the headset, or any problem, would be a good idea to keep in mind. If it had been an engine problem, it would given you more options.

You did good though!

Best, Barbara O’Grady

Thanks Cindy, Don and Mo for a wonderful weekend. Moab is a very special place – thanks for sharing and providing expert guidance.

Congratulations on completing your Commercial license. It was an honor to be your first flight-seeing customers. May there be many more. –V&M
