✈️ Look out, world… Amelia might be our next pilot! 💙
Ms. Amelia took to the skies for her very first discovery flight after applying for a scholarship through Next Gen Pilots—and she was awarded the opportunity to experience the magic of flying firsthand! 🥰✈️
From takeoff to touchdown, she was ALL smiles! We have a feeling this might not be the last time we see Amelia in the pilot’s seat. 👀🧑‍✈️
Way to go, Amelia! We are so proud of you and can’t wait to see where your wings take you! 🌟✈️

✈️ Aviation Dreams Taking Flight! ✈️
We are so incredibly proud to announce another scholarship recipient! Mechiah was awarded a $450 scholarship by Next Gen Pilots to pay for a flight lesson, and we couldn’t be more excited to watch his aviation journey begin. 🛩️💙

A very special thank-you goes to Mechiah’s second-grade teacher, Ms. Gentis, who wrote the most amazing recommendation letter for his scholarship application. Her belief in Mechiah, her encouragement, and the way she recognized his potential truly meant so much to us. Teachers like her make such a lasting impact on our children, and we are beyond grateful that Mechiah had her in his corner.

We were so impressed by both Mechiah and Ms. Gentis. Seeing his passion, determination, and excitement for aviation reminds us that big dreams really can start at a young age. 🌟

We are so excited to see where this journey takes you, Mechiah! Keep reaching for the skies, keep dreaming big, and keep believing in yourself. The sky is only the beginning! ✈️💙

✈️ There’s something pretty incredible about finally getting the chance to experience the freedom of flight firsthand earlier this week. Flint got to sit in the cockpit, take in the view, and get a taste of what it’s like to be up in the sky.

A memorable day, a new experience, and hopefully the beginning of many more adventures in the air. 💚🛩️

From the first time they look up at an airplane to the moment they climb into the cockpit—aviation has a way of turning curiosity into possibility. ✈️💙
Today, Cyler took his discovery flight, with Dad riding along in the back seat. What an incredible opportunity to experience flight firsthand and take another step toward discovering where aviation might take him.

At Kids in Aviation, we love seeing the next generation get curious, get inspired, and get involved. Because every aviation journey starts somewhere. 🛩️✨

What a fun morning at Chick-fil-A for Family Flight Morning! ✈️
We had the opportunity to meet so many young aviators and share with them what aviation is all about—from the excitement of flying to the possibilities that await them in the world of aviation. It was amazing to see their curiosity, enthusiasm, and big dreams take flight!

A huge thank you to Jessica at Falcon Field and the incredible Chick-fil-A Power & McKellips team for putting together such a fun and meaningful event for our community. We’re grateful to be part of a morning that inspires the next generation of aviators! 🚀✈️
