WWII test pilot Elizabeth Strohfus, one of the few WASPs

I would LOVE to meet this wonderful woman who shares her story with anybody who is willing to listen. I have so much respect for World War II Veterans and wish that more people would listen to their wonderful stories. What a Gal!

This long-overlooked group of women who flew aircraft during World War II were awarded the Congressional Gold Medal today, Wednesday, March 10th, 2010. What an awesome flock of lady's!

It is good to see these heroic women finally getting recognition for their contribution to Americas freedom. MPR taped this interview during AirExpo 2009, presented by Wings of the North at Flying Cloud Airport in Eden Prairie, MN. Liz is a terrific lady who has been part of AirExpo for over 10 years and is planning to attend AirExpo 2010 in July.

I was fortunate to know a WASP when I was volunteering in an Assisted Living Home. Henry Ford made the planes in what later became the Detroit Airport at Willow Run, Michigan. She flew the planes to New York where the Army Air Corp pilots took over. We could relate as I worked at that airport in the 50's and it now is the US biggest airport for cargo.
