A
GIFT WITH WINGS
 What compelled 45 women from Anchorage to Chesterfield,
N.H., to trek to Vernon, Texas, a tiny north-Texas town where there are
more trucks than cars? All had heard about a unique program called Girls
in Flight Training (GIFT) Academy that provides free ground and flight
instruction for women in all stages of flight training. The second

boost of confidence," said Shannon, who soloed at GIFT and plans to
finish her Private Pilot's Certificate by yearend. "Flying is something

everything seemed possible. Being among such a supportive, encouraging
group of women was truly priceless." Click
