Bonnie Tiburzi Caputo, pictured here in 1973 as a new graduate from the American Airlines Flight Academy, was the first woman to be hired as a pilot for a major US commercial airline.
Plans are underway for the installation of a permanent exhibit at the New England Air Museum dedicated to notable achievements of women in aviation and aerospace. Women like Bonnie, who have made significant contributions as pioneers, pilots, astronauts and engineers will be celebrated in this unique and important exhibit.
This is a very special evening event at the museum on Saturday, Oct. 5, from 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Catering provided by Delicacy Catering of West Hartford. Tickets are $50 per person.
