Congratulations to the AK 99s 2026 Scholarship Winner - Jodie Lyons!
Jodie moved to Alaska with a dream to pursue aviation in September. She finished her Private Pilot in 96 days and is currently wrapping up her Instrument rating. In 2024, Jodie founded a women's cycling community , helping female-identifying riders build skills, confidence, and community through gravel cycling. She is stoked to join the aviation community, to mentor and inspire women to pursue their dreams in a historically male-dominated field. Her current goals are to work through commercial, CFI/II, and multi ratings as she builds hours to work for LifeMed flying fixed wing Medevac and giving back to her community. When not flying, she can be found playing with her two pups, Bridger and Teton.
Congratulations, !
