Congratulations to Kye! He’s not old enough to drive a car but he can sure fly a well!

Nothing better than a successful while your Mom watches and waits to drive you home!

Airport pets are always full of personality!

Congrats to Adam on the completion of his commercial license!! Someone hire this guy asap

Meet Shondra, our newest flight instructor! Miss Cleo took an with her today!

Pilots need good mechanics to keep us flying! Consider becoming an Aircraft Maintenance Engineers and help keep general aviation alive!

The Last Shift... Or the Last Generation?

In 1997, the hangar was full.
There were experienced hands, curious apprentices, and a new generation eager to learn.

By 2005, the numbers had already started to shrink.

By 2015, the silence became noticeable.

And by 2026...
One engineer remains, watching another aircraft depart, carrying decades of knowledge that may retire with him.

Behind every safe takeoff and every successful landing, there is an Aircraft Maintenance Engineer whose name passengers will never know. While pilots are often celebrated, AMEs work quietly through the night, in the heat, the cold, and under relentless pressure to ensure every aircraft is safe to fly.

But today, our industry faces a growing challenge.

Thousands of licensed engineers are reaching retirement, while too few young professionals are entering the field. Years of experience cannot be replaced overnight, and knowledge passed from mentor to apprentice is disappearing faster than we realize.

General Aviation—and aviation as a whole—depends on the next generation choosing this profession.

If we fail to inspire, train, and support future Aircraft Maintenance Engineers, we risk losing more than skilled technicians.
We risk losing the people who keep aviation safe.

To every experienced engineer:
Thank you for the knowledge you've shared and the countless flights you've made possible.

To every student and apprentice:
The future of aviation is waiting for you. Learn, ask questions, and carry the torch forward.

Because aircraft don't maintain themselves.
And the future won't build itself.

✈️ Respect the engineers.
🔧 Inspire the next generation.
❤️ Keep aviation alive.

Another baby bird kicked out of the nest! 👀 Watch out for the surprise from your instructor!

Congratulations Tim on a successful at

Congratulations to Seb on his and it was in the at
