Welcome to AWE - Aviation and Women in Europe, Section of WAI - Women in Aviation International
|  Welcome to AWE - Aviation and Women in Europe homepage.
AWE's mission is to promote women's presence in aviation at all levels: not only in the flight deck but in all other aviation professions and skills.
_________________________________________________________________
AWE was born in 2005, has been very active and in April 2006 became the WAI - Women in Aviation International European Section. AWE operates exclusively for charitable, educational or scientific purposes. - To foster, promote and engage in aviation education, particularly as it relates to women in aviation. This includes encouraging women to seek opportunities in aviation.
- To cultivate, foster, and promote interest and understanding among thepublic in the accomplishments and contributions of women to the aviation industry.
- To establish, acquire and maintain information and materials, acting as a depository for historical and scientific interest which pertain in any way to the science of aviation, especially as it relates to women in aviation.
AWE is promoted by Michelle Bassanesi (see Curriculum Vitae), an aviation enthusiast holding several flight licenses and endorsements both sides of the Ocean (JAA FI(A) IRI and FAA CFI CFII ASEL). Michelle has experienced all the difficulties a woman, even in a modern and non-sexist society as that of western Europe, must face to find a proper location in aviation world regardless of skills and qualification: thus she decided to do something similar to what WAI does in the USA to lobby and promote women's talents.
AWE coordinates the promotion of women and their work in aviation.
AWE looks to spread aviation knowledge and culture amongst women.
AWE's long term goal is to create a source of information and professional opportunities for women in European aerospace and aviation.
AWE will rapidly become the main source for the aviation industry "made in Europe" as well as a powerful "food for thoughts" factory. Journey to SUCCESS:
Strategise your career;
Utilise your resources-Networking;
Care about yourself;
Create opportunities for yourself;
Enthusiasm! and Passion;
Speak up!
Satisfy you!

August 2, 2009 - Oshkosh, Wisconsin - It's an unlikely path to ownership, but Ed Sweeney contends that it makes perfect sense. A pioneer in electric remote control aircraft in the late 1960s, Ed always had a fascination for things that fly. In 1970, he made his first trip to the annual EAA Fly-In Convention and was an early adopter of hang gliders and what was to become the ultralight movement. His twin-engine Hummingbird was a hit and with its panoramic view, Ed's next airplane was really no surprise: a twin-engine Partenavia P68 Observer-the model where the nose doubles as a windscreen.

July 9, 2009— TANNKOSH, Europe’s largest fly-in for sport aviation, takes place this year July 17-19 at the Tannheim airport located at the foot of the Bavarian Alps in the Allgäu region of southern Germany. Hosted for many years by the Tannheim Flight School, owned by the popular brother and sister aerobatic duet of (Red Bill pilot) Matthias and Verena Dolderer, the 2009 event promises to be better than ever. With a format similar to EAA AirVenture Oshkosh, TANNKOSH ’09 offers more than a dozen pilot forums, nearly 100 vendors and an air show that features the best Europe has to offer, from historic vintage airplanes and warbirds, to homebuilts, unlimited aerobatics and current military hardware. www.eaa.org/news/2009/2009-07-09_tannkosh.asp
