Women only make up 20 percent of those working in the aviation and aerospace field. Women in Aviation International Great Lakes Chapter is doing its best to help equalize those demographics during the Girls in Aviation Day celebration.
Head to Avflight Grand Rapids (KGRR), 4211 Cassard Ln., for an exciting day filled with aerospace fun for all ages and genders.
