<a href="https://www.ohs.org/museum/exhibits/she-flies-with-her-own-wings.cfm"><i>She Flies with Her Own Wings: Oregon’s Golden Age of Aviation</i></a>. Opening Friday, March 7 in downtown Portland, visitors will discover how the wonder of flight sparked innovation,

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Within the exhibition, visitors will discover how aviation inspired hope and promise during a period of uncertainty, connecting communities quite literally through the building of new airports
and the popularity and excitement of airshows. Featuring video interviews, flight suits, and even a restored plane,
<i>She Flies with Her Own Wings</i> also profiles noted aviators from the era, including Dorothy Hester, Hazel Ying Lee, Tex Rankin, and Leah Hing.
