Event Organized By The Institute For Women Of Aviation Worldwide (iWOAW)
The 2013 Women Of Aviation Worldwide Week, held March 4 to 10, attracted more than 17,000 girls and women to air and space facilities across four continents. Over the course of the week, pilots flew balloons, ultra-lights, airplanes, seaplanes, and helicopters to introduce 5,316 girls and women to the magic of flight in a small aircraft with the hope to spark many vocations, and more than 77% of the girls and women attending said that they would consider undertaking an activity in aviation for pleasure or for a career as a result of their experience.
