Celebrate 100 Years of Licensed Women Pilots and the first annual Women of Aviation Worldwide Week March 13 at the Stevens Point Municipal Airport (STE) in Wisconsin when Am I High Aviation presents a day at the airport watching free movies filled with aviation adventure and $20 rides.
Born in Michigan in 1875, Hariette Quimby made history 100 years ago as America’s first licensed female pilot and again as the first woman to solo across the English Channel “driving her own aeroplane.” Quimby also took the lead and designed the first safe costume for women fliers, writing, “If a woman wants to fly, first of all she must, of course, abandon skirts.”
