Aviation LEADership: "Intro to Flying Ops"  - In Honor of the crew of INDY 08: Capt Brandon Cyr, Capt Reid Nishizuka, Staff Sgt Daniel Fannin , and Staff Sgt Richard Dickson

Aviation is a true passion and calling for many, and often the love of the sky starts with a simple introduction to flight. While we do not provide the actual flights, we teach the basics of aerospace dynamics, we visit a military aviation squadron, we tour a remotely piloted aircraft facility, and we slip the surly bonds of earth in an aircraft simulator!

By the end of the week, students get to show off their “wings” to an audience of friends and family by demonstrating the leadership skills that make a good aviator like problem-solving, communication, and teamwork as well as knowledge of aviation, racing an RPA, and earning their TOP GUN patch.
