Women Build Planes Team interviewed on WDEV’s Vermont Viewpoint
Our day began with the excitement and anticipation of gathering the Modern Rosies for a memorable experience at WDEV's Vermont Viewpoint, in Waterbury, VT. As we carpooled to the station, we enjoyed the blessing of meaningful and fun conversations, reflecting on our mission and the impact of Habitat for Aviation. The drive was filled with laughter and enthusiasm, as we all looked forward to sharing our personal stories and the unique roles we each play within the organization. The atmosphere was one of unity and purpose, as we prepared to spread the message of the importance of women in aviation, both now and in the future.
Arriving at WDEV, we were met with a warm welcome from Bradley Ferland and the podcast mixer, and set up to share our passion for Habitat for Aviation. Each of us took a moment to speak about what the organization means to us, the work we are doing, and the tremendous need for more women to enter the aviation industry. It was a powerful opportunity to highlight not just the work we’ve done, but the future we envision—one where women play a central role in shaping the aviation landscape. The conversation flowed effortlessly, with each of us eager to share our insights and inspire others to get involved.
One of the most touching moments of the interview came when 10-year-old Axley, a bright and inspired member of our team, shared her own perspective. She had brought a notebook full of notes, filled with thoughts on what Habitat for Aviation means to her and why she believes women should pursue careers in aviation. Her passion and clarity of purpose were beyond her years, and her words resonated deeply with the listening audience. It was a beautiful reminder of the impact we are making and the potential we are unlocking for the next generation of young women in aviation.
