Big day at Operation Aviation Foundation ✈️

Acceptance emails are officially going out to students selected for the 2026 ACE Academy in Jasper, Alabama—and we couldn’t be more excited to welcome this next group of future aviation enthusiasts.

This isn’t just a camp. It’s a hands-on, immersive aviation experience designed to open doors, build confidence, and spark real career pathways in flight. From ground school fundamentals to time around real aircraft and aviation professionals, these students are stepping into something truly transformative.

There’s nothing else quite like this in the Southeast. The ACE Academy continues to stand apart by giving young people direct access to the world of aviation in a way that’s practical, inspiring, and unforgettable.

To those who received that acceptance email—get ready. You’re about to be part of something special.
