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!
4/21/18 - We love our aviation 'ohana here on this awesome island! We were invited to spend a day at the beach with our friends the 99's, and we had a grand ol' time! Happy Aloha Saturday and thanks for the beautiful day!
4/28/18 - EAA Joint Fly-In at Kalaeloa Airport - We had a great day setting up with the EAA, GACH, CAP, and many more island aviation organizations to talk story, enjoy some pancakes, and look at airplanes! When you connect with WAI, you don't only connect with our group, but with many other like-minded organizations in our community! If we can't help you, we know someone who can!

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! Click on the picture to go to the EAA website for the local chapter here on Oahu and learn more!
6/16/18 - Such a fun afternoon with wonderful people, just sipping and painting! Let us know what activities YOU want to do and we'll make it happen!
10/13/18 - Our second annual Girls in Aviation Day, hosted by Hawaiian Airlines! We had an INCREDIBLE day where 21 young women from around the island got the rare opportunity to get a behind-the-scenes look at the aviation industry as seen from the perspective of a major airline...our hometown Hawaiian Airlines!! A HUGE MAHALO to HAL for hosting such an awe-inspiring event, please go to the PICTURES tab to see more pictures from our day!
