Your View: Sunshine and Roses at Gillespie

sunset over a compass painted on the ground

Gillespie Field Assistant Airport Manager Louise Dragman-Renz said the airport operations team often sees the most beautiful sunrises and sunsets while keeping the airport safe for everyone.

Dragman-Renz recently snapped this picture that shows a sunrise over the compass rose painted near the runway by the Ninety-Nines—a women’s pilot group. Founded by Amelia Earhart and 98 other female aviators, the Ninety-Nines would paint these compass roses to help pilots navigate in the 1930s and 1940s.
