Women Build Planes!
Every Sunday from 11 AM to 5 PM, our hangar at Franklin County State Airport is filled with energy, focus, and hands-on learning. The Women Build Planes team—one of the only all-female, multigenerational aircraft build crews in the country—is constructing a Rans S-21 Outbound from the ground up. Whether you're an experienced builder or new to aviation, you're welcome to join and check out our program. No experience necessary—just bring a willingness to learn and a can-do spirit.

Women Can Do Conference
We’re excited to join Women Can Do on Thursday, October 9, 2025—a one-day trades and STEM career exploration conference designed for high school girls* across Vermont. At our booth, students will step into the world of aviation through hands-on activities that mirror real industry skills, from fabrication to learning what it takes to build and fly an airplane.
Our mission is simple: to show young women and gender-expansive youth that they belong in aviation. Whether as builders, maintainers, or pilots, we’re opening doors to career pathways where women have historically been underrepresented. Together, we’re building more than airplanes.
*Vermont Works for Women welcomes all who identify as girls, as well as non-binary and gender expansive youth who feel comfortable in a girl-centered space.
