The Newest Girl With Wings
Kristine I grew up around airplanes, and they always seemed to be a normal part of my
childhood. I have lots of memories flying with my dad and mom when I was little. We took lots
of trips to the Nut Tree in Vacaville, California, which used to be a local attraction and is still an
airport. One of the funniest memories I have is when I took a picture of my dad's plane, a
1947 Bonanza, to class for show and tell in the second grade. All of the other kids were

GWW makes the news Ok, so it’s really a story about Emily Warner (first woman to become a commercial airline
pilot in the US), who attended the International 99s Conference in Denver. We were on site as well, so we had our
Spaceship tee on the local news, as well as a glimpse of little Sophia Jacobs picking up brochures to hand out to
fellow attendees. http://www.9news.com/rss/article.aspx?storyid=77627

Recommended Reading on the Website I have added a page to highlight recommended
books: http://girlswithwings.com/Books.html Submit your suggestions!
*Kathleen Winters asked me to read her book about Anne Morrow Lindberg, First Lady of the
Air. I was honored by the request, and am awed by her thorough research into Anne Lindberg's
role in the Golden Age of Aviation. Although Ms Lindberg believes nothing she did was all that
special, I felt an extreme amount of respect for the trips she so bravely embarked upon. It is
wonderful to read a story that is able to inform about early pilot training, licensing, navigation,
and airplane design with the additional benefit of Anne's own story, and her quiet and
self-effacing contributions to her more visible husband's success. www.kathleenwinters.com

Important, But Not for Me: A recent study finds just 25% of Kansas/Missouri parents think their children should
be studying more math and science; 70% think things "are fine as they are now." The findings reinforce the Girls
With Wings Mission: Using Aviation to Entertain while we Educate Young Girls about their Limitless Opportunities.
The report goes on to say, “While parents and students have a measure of appreciation for the role Science, Math
and Technology will play in the future world of work, this appreciation remains thin, and relatively few seem to absorb
the implications in a personal sense. Most parents do not see improving math, science and technology education as a
top challenge facing their local schools, and most students do not come to these subjects with a strong sense of
motivation and interest.” Read the full report at http://www.publicagenda.

shocked that we owned a plane, and one kid asked me, What do you DO, keep it in the BACKYARD?!? I told them
that I wanted to be a pilot when I grew up, and fly 747s and C-130s. Nobody probably knew what I was talking
about. My parents have always encouraged me to follow my dreams though, and even in the second grade they
believed me when I said I wanted to fly airplanes. http://www.girlswithwings.com/Bios/Kristine.html
