Thank you to Bob Lutz and league42ict for the invitation to be a part of this month’s Passion Project. Over 55 people came out to hear Russ Meyer III and myself speak about aviation. These kids loved hearing Russ’ military flight stories, including flying the F16, and what it’s like to learn important skills and doing hard things.

We honor the legacy of those who paved the way for others. Wichita is represented by two ladies who embody their mission - Nadine Ramsey and Mickey Axton.

On this day in 1977, President Jimmy Carter signed into legislation the bill granting the Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASP) full retroactive veteran status.

Although the WASP program began in 1942 and operated as part of the military until it was disbanded in 1944 with some female pilots serving all the way through 1945, the women were not recognized as veterans until Carter signed it into law in 1977.

The designation was prompted by the work of many WASP over the years, including several who testified at various hearings, and also with the support of General Hap Arnold, his son Bruce Arnold, and political help from Senator Barry Goldwater, a World War II veteran who had commanded WASP in his squadron. Their efforts were rewarded when President Jimmy Carter signed The G.I. Bill Improvement Act of 1977, granting the WASP full veteran status on November 23, 1977.

It’s always fun to see families who are impacted by what we do. These guys came out to the museum when we had the last year. They recognized me, and talked about how much they enjoyed coming out. Impact happens in micro moments you might not see or now about. Keep doing the work!
