Wings of dreamers
Gives youth in the region a chance to explore, learn and grow interest in aviation career fields through exposure, classes, scholarship and so much more, in an effort to foster change in aviation to reflect the communities they live in.
Flight Training
Our training program has been in development for the past 12 months. It
offers potential students the opportunity to access aviation from a
perspective of more than just a consumer or passenger. Our program
will allow students to gain the needed knowledge at a young age through
ground schools and then matriculate through simulator training into the
career of their choice, not just aviation. The students will graduate from
both high school and pilot training in time to address the pilot shortage
and transform the aviation community into a career known for its
diversity.
