    During a Family Day celebrating African Americans in aviation history, two young girls pose next to a cut-out of early aviation pioneer, Bessie Coleman at the Udvar-Hazy Center. The girls are wearing jackets, scarves, helmets and goggles reminiscent of the pilots in the 1920s and 30s. In the background is a Boeing Stearman biplane.
