When asked for suggestions of ways to support a young person’s (or parents) new or existing interest in aviation, we often suggest attending area FLY-INs. Fly Ins are just what they sound like - people with aircraft fly in to small/mid sized airports for fellowship, food, and various activities. The best part? Most fly ins are also open to the public! (Some events are small and quaint while others are big and action packed). These events are a great way to surround yourself with fellow aviation enthusiasts, pilots, aircraft, good food, and fun activities. With warmer weather approaching, fly ins are gearing up. Flight Path board members and volunteers are keeping an eye out for information and we will pass it along here as we get it. Keep checking back as new dates and locations can pop up often!

As we fly into the New Year, a little recap of our 2025.
Last year Flight Path….

* Held 31 Flight Nights.
* Hosted 3 Boy Scout Aviation Merit Badge special sessions.
* Hosted a daytime Flight Night event for a local school.
* Attended the Region 12 Michigan Science Olympiad Regional Tournament as special exhibitors.
* Participated in the West Michigan Regional Airport Fly In.
* Conducted a number of daytime Flight Path "tours" in conjunction with West Michigan Regional Airport.
* Enabled an American Heritage Girls group to earn their aviation badge.
* Presented at the Holland Public Middle School career day fair.

It is so energizing for us to see the numbers and realize that Flight Path was able to introduce aviation to over 280 students via Flight Night sessions alone, and truly countless others at our additional events this past year.
We are so proud of what our little non profit has been able to accomplish in these last 365 days.

Now, as we head into our 7th (!!) year we look forward to all that 2026 has to offer. More “ah-ha!” moments for our students, more growth opportunities for our organization, and additional volunteers who are just as excited about sharing their passion for aviation as we are.

Thank you to each and every person who has contributed to our program. From our students and parents, to our tireless volunteers, and our very much appreciated donors - none of what we do would be possible without you.

Happy New Year, everyone. Here’s to a great 2026!
