              <text>Elizabeth "Pete" Plunkett was a successful engineer in the aviation and astronautical fields. She attended the University of Washington and began working for the Boeing Company her sophomore year. Plunkett stayed with the company her entire 37-year career, beginning as a draftsman and working her way up to Engineering Technical Laboratory Manager, where she oversaw two laboratories that provided experimental test facilities for all commercial airplanes. For several years she worked as a research analyst and test director for aeroelastic models of hypersonic orbital and space flight systems during the very beginning of the U.S. space program.

During her career, Plunkett was an officer in both the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics and SWE, in which she remains a member.</text>
