We kicked off our partnership with St. Mary's Ryken High School's aviation program. We provided six students with their first official flight lesson! We would like to thank Dave Davison for his generous donation and Jerry Swift for bringing his students out. We look forward to continuing our high school outreach and seeing our young aviators continue their training.
