More than 100 middle school and high school students were able to take part in a C-130J incentive flight flown by an all-female crew, tour U.S. Air Force and JASDF aircraft, and listen to U.S. and Japanese aviators’ personal experiences as aircrew during the event. ‘Fly Girls’ served as an opportunity for participants to celebrate International Women’s Day and educate Yokota’s youth about the contributions women have made and continue to make in aviation.
