In honor of Women in Aviation day, the Evergreen Aviation & Space Museum in McMinnville, Oregon, has invited Col. Virginia Thompson and aviation artist Sharon Rajnus to speak on Saturday, March 7.
Thompson, who joined the Civil Air Patrol (CAP) in 1968, was the first female commander of a wing in the CAP’s Pacific Region, and currently serves as the Oregon Wing Inspector.
Rajnus, author and artist of Stars of the Sky, was introduced to the aviation industry at an early age by her father, who was a project administrator for the P-38 at Lockheed during World War II.
