Young Women Meet Female Role Models
Aerospace Academy students visit 3 time U.S. National Aerobatic Champion Patty Wagstaff at her aircraft hangar at the Northeast Florida Regional Airport in St. Augustine.
Young ladies in the Aerospace Academy at St. Augustine High School, had the pleasure of attending Women Take Flight at the Hyatt Regency Jacksonville Riverfront. This presentation is part of the Mayor's Commission on the Status of Women in celebration of Women's History Month. Students met Astronaut Eileen Collins, Colonel, USAF. Two years ago she commanded space shuttle Discovery Flight STS-114 that took off from Cape Canaveral on July 26, 2005 and touched down at Edwards Air Force base on August 9, 2005. The flight capped a 5.8 million mile journey in space. It was the first shuttle flight since the Columbia disintegrations, as well as, only the second shuttle flight commanded by a woman. A veteran of four space flights, Collins has logged more than 872 hours in space. She
retired from the USAF in January 2005 and from NASA in May 2006, having been an astronaut for more than 14 years. Students took part in a question-answer session and were able to have one-on-one time with Collins. |
