We have hit the ground running in 2018! Our chapter has had some wonderful growth and experiences in the past year, and we are looking onwards and upwards to see what we can do in the year ahead! If you are looking for a wonderful new world of possibilities, you've come to the right place! Please take a look at what we've done, what we're doing, and what we hope to do, and if you have any ideas or requests on what you would like to get out of this chapter, please send them our way! From education sessions, to field trips, to simply getting together for a pot-luck dinner, the Aloha Chapter is here for you and wants to provide what you are looking for!

1/27/18 - First meeting of the new year, and all we can say is WOW! Already we are developing a year that will be incredible! We have volunteer opportunities, scholarships, mentoring, and multiple events! Some big things we are excited for: WAI conference in Reno, a potential beach clean-up in the summer, and our second annual GIAD in October! We try to hold meetings or do an event at least once a month, and if we have a formal meeting we will offer an education session of some sort. If you have an idea for a topic you want to learn more about, or event/activity you think we should do, please send your ideas our way and we will make it happen!
3/21-25/18 - Annual WAI Conference in Reno, NV! Our Hawaii 50 'Ohana made a strong showing at this year's conference, connecting with old and new members, and with friends near and far at the most wonderful, encouraging, supportive, and inspiring event ever! We had a great time, and we think this might become an annual tradition to all make the trek from the islands to wherever the conference may be...to include the group AirBnB and all :) Contact us if you want to learn more about becoming a part of our 'ohana!
8/31/17 - By request from some of our members, we scheduled an exclusive, inside look of the Honolulu Control Tower and ATC floor, and it was an awesome, eye-opening experience (especially if you are only familiar with the pilot side of the house)! We learned a lot, and have already started a list for other people who are interested in going on this tour, so please contact us if you would like to be added!

3/22/18 - Some of our members attending a very special guest speaker event at Hawaiian Airlines! This is just an example of one of the types of events we try to get our members access to, please reach out and contact us if this is something you are interested in or have ideas on what YOU want to do!
4/7/18 - EAA Young Eagles fly at Dillingham! Don't let the clouds fool you, the young eagles still took flight thanks to a cadre of volunteers who offer ground school, simulators, and then glider flights to young people involved with the EAA Young Eagles program. If you have a child who is interested in aviation and doesn't know about this program, they are missing out!

9/23/17 - Arguably the biggest event for us this year, we partnered with Hawaiian Airlines and they hosted us for our first EVER WAI Hawaii 50 Girls in Aviation Day! We had nine young women from all over the island meet at Hawaiian Airlines Headquarters at the Honolulu International Airport, and from there they got a tour of the facilities, flew the Airbus simulator, listened to guest speakers, and got to tour their very own Hawaiian Airlines A330-200 out on the flight line! It was an amazing day, and hopefully sparked some of the young women to think about a future in aviation!

10/21/17 - Yet another event hosted by the Pacific Aviation Museum, this time our rockstar members volunteered to set up a table at the Discover Your Future in Aviation job/college fair held at the museum. This event was meant to help educate anyone who might be interested in pursuing a future in the aviation industry in all the different opportunities available! If you want to learn more about the museum and what other events they offer, please click on the picture to go to their website!
