A message from our former President, current Board Member, and retired United Airlines Captain, Tom Bush:

"This past week, I had the honor and privilege to accompany three Captain Jason Dahl Scholarship Fund supporters in a state-of-the-art Boeing 787 simulator at the United Airlines Training Center in Denver, Colorado.

Longtime donor Tracy Forst, along with Drew Puchi and David Hunter, had a great, memorable experience flying one of United's newest international aircraft. Our simulator instructor did a fantastic job representing United and demonstrating the 787's capabilities.

The Dahl Fund is eternally grateful to United for their continued support, supplying two-hour simulator experiences for scholarship fundraising.

Jason Dahl was the captain of United Flight 93 on September 11, 2001, when the passengers and crew paid the ultimate sacrifice, preventing terrorists from reaching their intended target of Washington, D.C.

The Captain Jason Dahl Fund was created to honor Jason and all the heroes of 9/11 by offering scholarships to young student aviators pursuing their dreams.

A special thanks goes out to Training Center Manager Eileen Tanaka for her coordination in making this event happen so smoothly.

This September 11th will mark the 25th anniversary of 9/11  and the Dahl Fund has already received over 130 qualified applicants from candidates attending universities nationwide."
