A Day of Inspiration and Exploration at the National Naval Aviation Museum

The skies are set to be a little brighter this November as the Naval Aviation Museum Foundation, in collaboration with Women in Aviation International, proudly presents "Girls in Aviation Gulf Coast 2024." This dynamic event is dedicated to sparking passion and inspiration among young women who are eager to explore careers in aviation and aerospace. The event will take place on November 16, 2024, at the iconic National Naval Aviation Museum in Pensacola, Florida.

Event Highlights

We are thrilled to announce that Michelle Curran, a former United States Air Force (USAF) major and an esteemed pilot with the USAF Thunderbirds, will be one of our keynote speakers. Known by her callsign “Mace,” Curran has made history as the lead solo pilot for the Thunderbirds and was only the fifth woman to join this prestigious demonstration squadron. Her journey, including her time as the opposing solo pilot in 2019 and leading the solo team in 2020 and 2021, promises to be an inspiring highlight of the day.

Attendees will have the rare opportunity to connect with trailblazing women from diverse sectors of the aviation industry. These remarkable women, including air traffic controllers, aviation maintenance experts, and service members from the US Coast Guard (USCG), Navy (USN), Marine Corps (USMC), and Air Force (USAF), will share their experiences and insights. Their stories will illuminate the many exciting career paths available in aviation.

The event will feature a variety of interactive, hands-on STEM activities designed to engage and educate. Highlights include:

• Lockwire Bracelets: Learn about the engineering principles behind this essential aviation tool while crafting your own unique bracelet.
• Straw Rockets and Airplane Launches: Dive into the basics of aerodynamics with fun, interactive experiments.
• Fling Flyer Badge: Girl Scouts will have the chance to earn their Fling Flyer Badge with the Girl Scout Gateway Council.
• Simulator Flights: Experience the exhilaration of flying through engaging simulator sessions led by female aviators.

Additionally, participants can enjoy creative aviation-themed activities, such as decorating their own aviator sunglasses, adding a fun twist to the day’s events.
