As the Nate Abel Flying Club is approaching our 10 year anniversary in 2027, we are trying to document any success stories from any attendees that may have pursued an aviation career after attending one of our Fly Kids for Nate events. Please include any thoughts or comments as to the importance of the event in your achievements. You can also email us [email protected].

Good day everyone, just a quick update, just to make sure that everyone knows there will not be a Fly Kids for Nate for 2022 or actually for the foreseeable future. With the closure of the on airport restaurant and other opposing forces, there is not a viable method to support the event at Hicks.

Friday. 8 years ago today we lost our clubs namesake to colorectal cancer at 39. Through the formation of our club we have continued his passion for aviation and his passion for sharing it with others. We know that Nate would be proud of our accomplishments in preserving and sharing his memory and promoting his ideals with making aviation fun for all. Like the multitudes he touched in his life, we too miss you daily. Thank you to the Abel Family as well for your unwavering support!! EAA - Young Eagles AOPA: your freedom to fly
