Celebrating Women in Aviation

The Pennsylvania Army National Guard recently celebrated women in aviation with an all-female flyover of the 13th annual March for the Fallen conducted at Fort Indiantown Gap. Crewmembers CW4 Heather Oglesby, CW4 Allison Moser, and Sgt. Victoria Glasgow flew a UH-60 Blackhawk helicopter over the event which is conducted to honor the memory of all fallen servicemembers who have made the ultimate sacrifice. Women have historically made up a small percentage of the service members in aviation with the first female U.S Army pilot graduating flight school only 50 years ago.
