For our niece ~ Heidi Rota

Your sisters in arms have come a long way, baby!

USAF WASP Pilots of WWII

"This is not a time when women should be patient. We are in a war and we need to fight with all our ability and every weapon possible. Women pilots, in this particular case, are a weapon waiting to be used."
Eleanor Roosevelt (1942)

In Flight

"Flying is not about whether the pilot is a man or a woman. It is about the results of the actions imposed by the pilot and the responses returned by the aircraft. The aircraft does not know or understand gender. It only knows the difference in a true pilot, and one who was perhaps not meant to fly."
Captain Jennifer Kaye, Air National Guard (2000)

On Heidi’s right arm, you’ll note the American flag appears to be backward … with the stars in the flag’s upper right corner. This flag is symbolic of the soldiers who used to march into battle with an actual flag. So steady and strong that the flag would blow behind them. On the arms of our soldiers, the flag faces as if being carried into battle, blowing behind them.
