We never get tired of the graceful landings between the pines at Peach State Aerodrome!

Have a youth aged 14-18 who is interested in airplanes? Message us!

A favorite moment from our last Pancakes and Planes: conversations across generations and a hangar full of community.

That spirit helps RAYAP give young people opportunities to learn, build, and fly. Thank you to everyone who joined us and made the morning special!

Who did you bring—or meet—at Pancakes and Planes?

Save the Date! 7 November 2026

It's our RAYAP Pancakes and Planes, but with a HEAVY EQUIPMENT theme. Make plans to come out and learn about how these companies are using BIG TOYS to quite literally build our community.

YES, you will be able to get in! CW Matthews is planning an activity with their excavator, and JTM Earthworks will have something up their sleeves as well. Strack is one of the largest site contractors in GA and boasts a fleet of over 450. What will they bring to the party? Stay tuned to find out.

It's going to be BIG!

This World Teachers' Day, we're celebrating the people who generously share their knowledge, experience, and time to help the next generation find its wings.

At the Ron Alexander Youth Aviation Program, our volunteer mentors are more than aviation enthusiasts. They're teachers, encouragers, problem-solvers, and the patient souls who know that sometimes the best way to teach is to hand a young person a wrench and say, "Let's figure this out."

Thank you to all the teachers. We love you, and we need you!

There's something special about a place where history isn't just remembered. It's restored, maintained, and kept alive for the next generation.

Dave Moffett's beautifully restored classic car looks right at home alongside this vintage aircraft in front of the Jim Hoak Hangar.

And that's exactly the spirit we love sharing with our young aviators at RAYAP.

Old-school craftsmanship. Timeless machines. New generations of dreamers.
