✈️ Last week, thanks to ILM Aerospace Foundation, we got to host 7th graders at the airport — twice!

From hands-on learning to meaningful conversations, these visits are what it’s all about. We’re passionate about helping students explore future careers in aerospace and showing them what’s possible right here in our community.

One of our favorite moments? A student asking Matt for his autograph (yes, really! 🙌). It’s safe to say an impact was made.

We’re so grateful to partner with that’s shaping the next generation.

Here’s to inspiring future innovators, engineers, and leaders 🚀
