This month on #52Objects, SFO Museum celebrates pioneering #WomeninAviation. In 1978, Gail Gorski (1952-2015) became the first female pilot to be hired by United Airlines. Gorski, who started flying at the age of 16, was a Boeing 747 and DC-10 pilot based in the San Francisco Bay Area. She was an original charter member of The International Society of Women Airline Pilots (@intlwomenairlinepilots), which was founded in 1978. #WomensHistoryMonth #AvGeek photograph: United Airlines, McDonnell Douglas DC-10, Gail Gorski; c. 1978 Gift of United Airlines Archives 1999.047.310 http://bit.ly/3ZHR0BS This image was posted on March 06, 2023.
