Picture of the Day: See Amelia fly!
Jennifer Thomas submitted this photo and note: “I took this photo of Amelia, age 9, sporting a Girls in Aviation Day backpack from Women in Aviation International, the non-profit organization I work for part-time. Amelia, her siblings, and Grandpa were enjoying an afternoon at the WACO Fly-In held in Troy, Ohio, in September 2020. Amelia’s backpack was full of goodies, including a copy of Aviation for Girls magazine and other fun items to encourage her to become involved in aviation. If her name is any indication, I’d say she has a good chance of becoming a pilot!”

“Fun fact: Ken Godfrey is the fourth person I’ve given a ride to that became a pilot. And the second to become a pilot and buy his own aircraft. Long live general aviation!”
