AOPA is not just the largest aircraft owner and pilot association in the world, it is also a true leader in aviation, and in my book, the Most Women Friendly Aircraft Owner and Pilot Association.

Thank you AOPA for your generous support of all the Women of Aviation Worldwide Week participants who are committed to increasing the population of women pilots through their own actions.

Never has doing a good thing, introducing a girl or woman to flying, been so rewarded! First, the delighted smiles of the girls and the women you introduce to flying, then the personal recognition within your community, and finally trophies and prizes.

If you have not made plans to introduce girls and women to flying during Women of Aviation Worldwide Week, March 7-13 2011, now is the time to get started. There is only two weeks left before the beginning of the first annual WOAW week and three weeks left before the end of WOAW week.

Let's do it!

Invite girls and women who have never flown in a smaller aircraft to go on a flight with you. Find them at your workplace, at your children school, at your church, or anywhere else you may think of. Girls and women constitute more than half of the human population, there are not hard to find! You will be amazed at how easy to find a girl or a woman who wants to fly. Just try it!
