Pima Air & Space Museum




Thank you to the Pima Air & Space Museum in Tucson, AZ for supporting FlyGirls! This past spring the museum unveiled their new Joyce M. Corrigan Women in Flight Gallery. It highlights the aerial achievements of women throughout history. The exhibit examines women’s contributions in many aspects for aviation including, military, commercial, and civil aviation through artifacts and photographs. Artifacts include large collections of military and commercial airline uniforms worn by women from around the world. An extensive time line follows the achievements of women aviators from the 1700s to the present. The museum’s Beech Bonanza and Lear 23, both formerly owned and flown by women are a highlight of the exhibit and provide a central focus around which the rest of the exhibition is placed.
