Sitting behind the controls of a Cirrus Aircraft SR20, a 12-year-old girl peeked above the dashboard and through the windshield.
As she gazed at the lights, buttons, levers and gauges that make up the cockpit, she imagined herself in uniform, ascending into the air, navigating the aircraft through the sky.
More than 150 girls experienced a similar feeling during Girls in Aviation Day — an Oklahoma State University, American Airlines and Tulsa International Airport organized event. Held at American Airlines Hangar 80 in Tulsa, the event invited sixth through 12th grade students to explore the field of aviation.
