Kids love imaginary play, of course, and the
amazingly popular “Princess” craze proves it. But
“Happily Ever After” is a little vague when we’re
talking about the very real future of our girls.
Women have proven themselves to be capable of
very impressive feats, and successful women
make great role models for our little girls. Instead
of encouraging our girls to wait for their knights in
shining armor, how about encouraging them to
explore the night in their shiny airplane?

organizations out there dealing with
aviation, aviation for kids, aviation
education, etc., and we are not in

give us the opportunity to help out at your
next event, be it a career day, airshow,
scout event, etc. We think the more
information kids have about their
opportunities; the more likely they are to
pursue them. See the Penelope Pilot Project
calendar of upcoming events.
