Oct 5th: Girls In Aviation at TCC
It is with great enthusiasm and excitement that we invite you to be a part of Girls in Aviation Day 2019. Girls in Aviation Day is an international event organized by Women in Aviation International that is held annually to introduce young girls to the exciting field of aviation. Last year, there were 99 individual Girls in Aviation Day (GIAD) events held in 15 different countries. This event reached nearly 15,000 girls ages 8-18 worldwide. It is our hopes that with your help we can include young ladies from the Tulsa area in these numbers.
This year, Tulsa Community College’s Women in Aviation Chapter, Wings over Riverside, will be supporting the 2019 GIAD global event by holding our own Girls in Aviation Day. We anticipate reaching approximately 200 girls ages 8-18 to introduce them to the vibrant Oklahoma aviation and aerospace industry. Our intent is to establish and continue an annual GIAD in Northeast Oklahoma.
This year’s inaugural event will be held on October 5, 2019 at Tulsa Community College’s Riverside Campus. There will be two scheduled times: Saturday from 9:00am-11:30am for ages 8-13 and 1:00pm-4:00pm for ages 14-18.
Because of our passion for aviation, the members of Wings over Riverside are dedicated to attracting and retaining young women and men in Oklahoma to pursue higher education and careers in the aviation and aerospace fields. To accomplish this, your support of our first annual GIAD 2019 would be instrumental in enabling our chapter to flourish and promote future aviation and aerospace activity in the Tulsa Area. As the second economic revenue generator in our state, more than 1,100 aerospace entities operate in Oklahoma. The Tulsa Chamber’s most recent Workforce Analysis and Education Alignment Strategy identified that the Tulsa Metro Area has four times the concentration of aviation and aerospace jobs compared to the national average. These statistics create a wonderful opportunity to connect and inspire young ladies locally and to connect the aviation industry in our state to ensure a vibrant future workforce.
Supporting Wings over Riverside’s GIAD will offer 200 young impressionable minds a broad introduction to aviation career fields, the benefits of pursuing STEM careers, the path to obtaining their career goals in aviation, interaction with real world aviation professionals, as well as exposure to many of the aviation and aerospace industries in our state.
Here are some ways you can make Wings over Riverside’s first Girls in Aviation Day a success:
- Help spread the word of Girls in Aviation Day by forwarding this email to your fellow aviation contacts for their participation.
- Volunteer your time.
- Donate promotional items.
- Make a financial contribution.
Your support is sincerely appreciated by the Wings Over Riverside Chapter.
If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact us.

Upgrades to the Viewing Area (SW corner of airport)
Last week, a rebuild of the Brick-Paver area has been completed at the public viewing area.
The tear out of the existing Brick-Paver area and the excavation of the new area was completed by Steve Mushrush and his airport staff. The airport also provided the extra bricks.
The rebuild was completed by Tulsa Paver Designs (918.406.7473) and funded by a donation from a JRAA member. The pavers are on a 7" bed of crushed stone and a 1" bed of sand, and finished with a special polymeric sand in the joints. The engraved pavers are spread throught the field with room to add more in the future.
