Each week, Flying receives dozens of news releases pitching us a new product or service, or informing us of an important upcoming event. Every so often we see one that makes us stop and think about the people that make the aviation industry work, such as the story we received on March 23 from the National Aviation Hall of Fame in Dayton. It perfectly captured the personality of one very special aviation woman, Alice Griffin.
