Sun Air Jets and the 99s Host Girls in Aviation Day 2022
/
Sun Air Jets hosted their annual Girls in Aviation Day on Saturday, September 24th at their Camarillo location. Approximately 40 Girl Scouts from the Central Coast Chapter were invited to Camarillo Airport for a tour of Sun Air Jets and to learn about careers in aviation.
The Ventura County 99s Women’s Pilot Organization joined in the event and were on hand to provide 3 different aircraft for the group to tour. There was a presentation from each of the 6 pilots on hand and an extensive question and answer session. The Girls Scouts also got to view the new Notable Women in Aviation Exhibit at the CAF Museum; an exhibit created by the Ventura County 99s with support from Sun Air Jets.
The primary goal of Girls in Aviation Day is to introduce girls ages 8 to 17 to all the career opportunities in aviation and aerospace. There are so many great careers in aviation to choose from; not just pilot careers but also air traffic controllers, astronauts, mechanics, engineers, technicians, designers and more. Since the very first Women in Aviation International “Girls in Aviation Day” in 2015, the annual WAI event has grown every year since its first gathering of 32 events and 3,200 participants.
