the dark blue uniforms of more than 75 U.S. Air Force officers and enlisted personnel were generously sprinkled among the approximately 2,400 attendees of the 2004 Women in Aviation International (WAI) conference, held March 11 to 13 in Reno, Nev. The conference kicked off a memorandum of understanding between the USAF and WAI, in which each organization agreed to actively promote the other. Air Force presence included a display taking up one entire wall of the exhibitor area, and the Secretary of the Air Force, Dr. James Roche, serving as the keynote speaker at the Friday-morning opening session.

“Women in Aviation’s mission is to mentor future aviators, promote aviation as a career choice for women and encourage and support women in the aviation field,” Roche said. “These objectives are admirable, and they are practical.”
