Girls in Aviation Day 2023

October 4, 2023

We had a hugely successful Girls in Aviation Day out at Lake in the Hills Airport! The weather was beautiful and everyone seemed to enjoy the day. The event was sold out to the capacity of 60 girls and we had 48 amazing volunteers.

We want to thank our Outreach Director, Colleen, and all our volunteers! In addition, we would like to thank our sponsors:

Exelon
Southwest Airlines
Priester Aviation
Pilot Flight Training Services
Mobile Avionic Technologies

And the aviation community to include: Blue Skies Flying services, Scott Thoman, Robert Skalany and Eric Shipman.

We look forward to seeing the turnout for GIAD 2024!
