This July, we are celebrating America’s 250th the way aviators do best — with community, freedom, and a little time on the ramp. ✈️

From the first flight to every freedom-filled departure since, aviation has always carried the American spirit forward. At First Landings Aviation, Apopka’s Number 1 FBO, we are proud to celebrate that spirit all month long.

Wear your patriotic shirt when you fuel up, share a photo of your visit, and help us celebrate the people and places that make Central Florida aviation special.

Here is how to join the celebration:

- Fuel up at First Landings Aviation during July
- Wear a patriotic shirt
- Take and post a photo from your visit
- Tag First Landings Aviation in your post
- Share it in one Central Florida aviation group, such as:
Orlando Pilots, Central Florida Pilots Association, Pilots of Florida, Time Building in Florida, Pilot Time Building, Find Your Local Flight Instructor, Florida Flying Breakfast Pilots, Florida Ultralight Pilots

You will receive $2 OFF per gallon on up to 50 gallons of fuel.

Every qualifying post earns one entry to win 250 gallons of fuel!

And while you are here, enjoy a free Freedom Cookie and cool off with Freedom Ice Cream served all day. 🍪🍦(while supplies last)

The winner of the 250 gallons of fuel giveaway will be announced on August 4th.

Thank you to the pilots, students, aircraft owners, instructors, families, and aviation friends who keep the American flying tradition alive every day.

Today we want to say a huge congratulations and farewell to **Casey**, who is heading off to **SkyWest Airlines** as a pilot!

Casey has been part of the First Landings Aviation team as a CFI since **February 2024**, helping students build confidence, sharpen their skills, and take important steps toward their own aviation goals. We are proud to have been part of his journey, and even prouder to see him take this next big step in his career.

Casey, thank you for everything you’ve contributed to FLA, our students, and our team. Your dedication, professionalism, and passion for aviation have made a lasting impact.

From all of us at First Landings Aviation, congratulations and best of luck at SkyWest. We’ll be cheering you on from X04!

✈️ Once a part of the FLA family, always part of the FLA family.

We’re proud to share that First Landings Aviation is partnering with Wekiva High School’s AFJROTC program to help introduce local students to aviation through FAA-certified flight simulator instruction.

This partnership is about more than flying—it’s about opening doors, building confidence, and showing the next generation that a future in aviation is within reach.

Our team is honored to support these cadets with guidance from certified flight instructors and our aviation maintenance team as they begin exploring the many career paths aviation has to offer.

A big thank you to Wekiva AFJROTC, OCPS, Lockheed Martin, and The Apopka Chief for highlighting this exciting program.

The future of aviation starts with opportunity—and we’re excited to help bring that opportunity to students right here in our community.
