Organizations within the aviation and aerospace industry recently celebrated the state’s fifth-annual Oklahoma Women in Aviation & Aerospace Day.
The annual Oklahoma Women in Aviation & Aerospace Day celebrated Oklahoma’s women aviators and advocated for young girls and women to pursue aviation. “As Oklahoma’s second-largest and fastest-growing industry, aviation has a significant impact on the lives of our citizens,” said Grayson Ardies, Oklahoma State director of aeronautics. “This annual event is a unique opportunity to gather Oklahoma military, aerospace companies, private and commercial pilots, airport managers, municipal officials, drone pilots, educators, flying clubs and the many users of the Oklahoma Airport System to discuss Oklahoma’s strong aviation heritage and how the industry continues to solidify our state as a worldwide leader in aviation, aerospace and defense.”
