STEM campers used both paper charts and ForeFlight to plan their flight before taking off with a CFI to explore Moore County from above.

Turns out, aviation has room for both pencils and iPads.

Some destinations mean a little more to pilots.

A recent flight to First Flight Airport (FFA) in Kill Devil Hills included a visit to the Wright Brothers National Memorialโ€”the very place where powered flight began.

Not a bad way to spend a day in the sky! โœˆ๏ธ

Special thanks to pilot Lance and CFI Matt for the ideaโ€”and for sharing these great photos from their bucket-list adventure.

Have you made the trip to FFA yet?

Every flight starts before the engine does.

Here, a student pilot is learning one of the most important parts of flyingโ€”how to properly preflight the aircraft.

Checking fuel, inspecting flight controls, looking for anything out of the ordinary... it's all part of developing the habits that make safe pilots.

Before you can fly an airplane, you have to learn how to take care of one.

This week, former Sandhills Fliers CFI Josh will share his aviation journeyโ€”from flight instructor, to the regional airlines, and now on to the "big flying."

Whether you're working on your Private, Instrument, Commercial, or dreaming of an airline career, this is a great opportunity to ask questions and learn from someone who has recently navigated the path.

Please RSVP so we know how much pizza to order!
