Dear Parents and students,

Would you like to be an airline pilot?  Recently we saw a tremendous amount of airline pilots take early retirement.  This means that we will have an enormouse need for new pilots over the next 5 years as they are replaced and new positions are added. Whenever there is a dip like this it is an ideal time to prepare for the future!  This week we will explore the career options of airline pilots and drone operators.

FLIGHT SCHOLARSHIPS ARE AVAILABLE NOW!
AOPA High School Flight Training Scholarships
Thanks to the generosity of the Ray Foundation, 80 exceptional high school students, ages 15 to 18, each will receive a $10,000 scholarship to pursue a private pilot, sport pilot, or recreational pilot. These awards offer our high school members the opportunity to advance into the aviation and aerospace careers they’ve always dreamed about.
