Women in Aviation International San Francisco Bay Area (WAI-SFBA) was founded in 2003 at Palo Alto Airport (PAO) to bring together various members of the Bay Area in the promotion of aviation interests. Women in Aviation welcomes ATC, NASA, FAA, mechanics, pilots, flight attendants, and all aviation enthusiasts who wish to share their personal and professional interests in aviation. Members from all over Northern California are encouraged to join our chapter. |
