Our Goals
A Non-Profit corporation to honor and recognize the accomplishments of Lauretta Schimmoler, the first female to be involved in acquiring the land and then manage that airport in the United States, Port Bucyrus - Crawford County Airport - 17G - Bucyrus, Ohio.
She then moved to California, was active in the 99’s (their first secretary), and then in the mid-30’s started the “Aerial Nurse Corps of America” which ultimately became the foundation of the United States Air Force Flight Nurses. She played a significant roll in aviation history both locally and nationally.
