Kevin Brooker from FLYING Magazine Visits 

Written By Beth White

It’s not everyday a writer from a top aviation magazine flies in with his yellow Taylor Craft, Woodstock, to check out our aviation program and meet our Modern Rosies. Kevin Brooker’s visit to Habitat for Aviation was memorable and he was clearly impressed by the talent and determination of our young women involved in our program. They share personal stories of how they came to find Habitat for Aviation, why they love working with their hands, what their long-term plans are in aviation, and their interests in learning to fly. He even joined the Zoom call we had with Sheryl Oxley who is only one of three FAA aviation mechanic examiners in the country. We look forward to his article.
