Great Job passing that next checkride.
Elizabeth was one of our Ray Aviation Scholar's and is now a CFI.

Maybe she will help to train a different Ray Aviation Scholarship recipient at some point!

A new addition to the CFI ranks! Congratulations Elizabeth, all that hard work has finally paid off! ✈️

We received an email today stating that our next EAA Ray Aviation scholar was approved!

We will let that scholar know this weekend.

This calls for some cake!

We are tracking gusty crosswind for the Young Eagles Rally tomorrow morning.
We may be able to get a few flown first thing if our pilots make it to the event. We will check in on the weather first thing in the morning and make a decision to move forward or cancel. **If your flight is closer to noon, it isn't looking good for those flights later in the morning.

Registration is open for our first Young Eagles Rally of 2026. It is planned for March 7th from 9am until noon - weather permitting.

So far it is looking like a possibility of rain and higher winds but we are still a little more than a week out. We will be monitoring the weather this week and we will reach out to those registered for the event if anything needs to change.

Thanks everyone! We are looking forward to a great flying season this year!
