Kimberly Byard submitted this photo and note: “Civil Air Patrol Potomac Highlands Composite Squadron Cadets had a living history moment when the restored P-63 Kingcobra, “Miss Betty” landed at the Grant County Airport in Petersburg, West Virginia. The restored fighter aircraft was named in honor of Betty Bishop. In 1943, she joined the ranks of Rosie the Riveters, the thousands of women who filled the workforce to power the United States Arsenal of Democracy. Betty worked on this P-63 during her World War II aircraft factory work. Never a dull moment! Go Civil Air Patrol!”
