My eldest, a sophmore engineering student at Tufts U. (in the Boston area), just got her first serious summer job, as an intern at Lockheed Martin. Please post a coin or a medal that has some sort of engineering design work on it... be it a boat, plane, building, whatever...


Here are 3 Fliteline medals, each flown on their respective flights, for Geminis 9, 10 and 11. The reverses all just show the crew and the dates of the flight, so I'm only posting one reverse. The medals are a metallic representation of the crew patches, and each shows something associated with the flight. For example in Gemini 9 there was an Agena docking and a spacewalk. They each are about the size of a 50c piece.

    Congrats to her! I'm also a sophomore engineering student that will start on my Co-op for another cycle though because i'm in a dual Engineering/MBA program. It's tough finding a good one right now and she seems to have done well! The good aeronautical Co-op around here (cincinnati) is at GE with their engines department. image

    I don't have any good pics to post though image

    I don't have anything off-hand to post, but that's awesome news. Not only is it hard to get these internships in the first place, it is REALLY hard to get one before completing your junior year. Best of luck to her.

    Women Airforce Service Pilots of World War II Receive Congressional Gold Medal


    WASHINGTON - The Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASP) of World War II were honored with the Congressional Gold Medal during a ceremony today in Emancipation Hall at the Capitol Visitor Center. Both surviving members of the WASP, as well as representatives of deceased members of the organization, participated in the ceremony. The medal, presented by the Congressional leadership, honors WASP members for their pioneering military service that led to reform in the U.S. Armed Forces.

    The WASP was composed of the first women in history to fly American military aircraft. They flew more than 60,000,000 miles in every type of aircraft and on every type of assignment flown by their male counterparts except combat missions. During that time, 38 women pilots lost their lives.

    The obverse (heads side) of the WASP Congressional Gold Medal was designed by United States Mint Artistic Infusion Program Master Designer Joel Iskowitz and sculpted by United States Mint Sculptor-Engraver Phebe Hemphill. The design depicts the portrait of a WASP with three others in the foreground in period uniforms with an airborne AT-6 in the background. Inscriptions on the obverse are WOMEN AIRFORCE SERVICE PILOTS and 1942-1944.

    The medal's reverse (tails side) was designed and sculpted by United States Mint Sculptor-Engraver Don Everhart. The design features the three aircraft that the WASPs flew during their training: the AT-6, B-26 and P-51. The WASP wings are depicted at the base of the design. Inscriptions on the reverse are THE FIRST WOMEN IN HISTORY TO FLY AMERICAN MILITARY AIRCRAFT, ACT OF CONGRESS and 2009.

    Congratulations to your daughter! Aerospace can be a fun field to be in as long as you're not behind a desk all the time. I got this medal/challenge coin after working on the X-43 project.
