On Wednesday, March 22, 2023 all AOPA and Aerospace schools were invited to bring 10-20 students to the Oklahoma State Capitol. Buses parked across from the capitol at the Oklahoma Department of Transportation. Students and teachers were prepared to go through the security check at the south entrance.
Booths were opened at 9:00 a.m. on the second floor of the Capitol.
At 10:00 a.m., the Governor and several special guests addressed attendees. At 11:00 a.m., Gigi Coleman (great niece of Bessie Coleman) was recognized.
From 11:15 a.m.-11:45 a.m AOPA schools then took group pictures with Gigi Coleman.
Students are encouraged to wear school aviation shirts or shirts with school logos.
What a great day!
