About the Event

Honor the Women Air Force Service Pilots (WASP) with fellow Chicago's Aviatrix

Come join us for a special in-person event as we pay tribute to the incredible Women Air Force Service Pilots (WASP) and celebrate Chicago's own aviatrix community.

This is a unique opportunity to gather together and show our appreciation for the brave women who paved the way for future generations of female pilots.


If you have time, please listen to this brief podcast about the WASPs so you can better participate in our ceremony and conversation. We will have some WASP trivia with prizes. 


You can also see where all the WASPs, who were buried in Illinois are located with our new custom Google Map, which maps out their burial location and provides a brief biography with photographs.
