Thank you to everyone who joined us at last week's CFBAA Happy Hour in Winter Park, Florida!

A special thank you to Sheltair Aviation for sponsoring the event and helping make another great evening possible for our members and guests.

The event brought together business aviation and aerospace professionals from across Central Florida for an evening of networking, relationship-building, and industry conversation in the heart of Orlando. These gatherings provide valuable opportunities for our members to connect with fellow professionals, share experiences, and strengthen the local aviation community.

We appreciate everyone who came out and contributed to a fantastic evening. We look forward to seeing you again at our next CFBAA Happy Hour on July 23 in Sanford, Florida, hosted by our friends at CE Avionics, Inc.! Register today at CFBAA.ORG.

We’d like to thank everyone who joined us for our April Happy Hour at Houligans Speedway last week. A special thank you to C&S Companies for sponsoring this month’s event.

We had a fantastic turnout, highlighted by a couple of special presentations. Board members Jenny Showalter, Blaise Waguespack, and David Keys presented Peyton Stikeleather with the inaugural CFBAA President’s Award in recognition of his outstanding efforts organizing and coordinating last year’s Mission Aviation Day in Daytona Beach.

In addition, David Keys was recognized by NBAA for his years of service as Domestic Operations Committee Chair.

Congratulations to both of you, and thank you for your continued commitment to strengthening our industry!

We look forward to seeing everyone next month in Melbourne for our May 21st Happy Hour at Intracoastal Brewing Company, sponsored by our friends at Southeast Aerospace!

The CFBAA YoPros showed up strong once again for the ORL 5K on the Runway, quickly becoming a favorite tradition that brings together runners and aviation supporters for a one-of-a-kind experience on a runway.

This meaningful event raises funds for three incredible organizations making a real impact through aviation:

✈️ Angel Flight Southeast – Provides free, life-saving flights for patients who must travel long distances for critical medical care, thanks to volunteer pilots donating their time and aircraft. Learn more: https://www.angelflightse.org/

✈️ Vision of Flight – Inspires youth to pursue aviation and STEM careers through hands-on experiences, mentorship, and flight training opportunities. Learn more: https://www.visionofflight.org/

✈️ Orlando Youth Aviation Center – Engages local students with aviation education, hands-on learning, and introductory flight experiences that spark future careers. Learn more: https://www.orlandoyouthaviationcenter.org/

Together, these organizations represent the heart of aviation, education, and opportunity. Proud to see our YoPros continuing to show up, give back, and help make every step on the runway count.
