Girls in Aviation Day | Greensboro, NC

Aviation Influence had the pleasure of being part of Girls in Aviation Day in Greensboro, organized by Legacy of Flight - Women in Aviation Intl. and held at the Samaritan's Purse hangar! We loved getting to meet and interact with so many attendees, share our passion for aviation, and encourage the next generation to explore all the opportunities this industry has to offer.

Lyndse Costable was also able to represent Aviation Influence as a panel speaker, sharing her experiences and insights with those in attendance.

A huge thank you to everyone who came out, stopped by, asked questions, and helped make the day so special. We’re grateful to be part of events that inspire the next generation of aviation! ✈️

We are so excited to welcome the American Airpower Museum as exhibitors at Take FLIGHT at ACY on September 26th!

They will be part of our highlight living history as a static display.
Their display will feature AAM’s C-47 Skytrain, which is an authentic WWII-era transport aircraft of the type used to deploy U.S. Airborne paratroopers during the D-Day invasion of June 1944.

The American Airpower Museum is dedicated to preserving and sharing the history of American military aviation. Through its collection of historic aircraft, educational programs, and immersive experiences, the museum brings the stories of aviation pioneers, service members, and the aircraft that shaped our nation’s airpower to life.

Don't miss your chance to see their amazing work, grab your tickets now!

We are so excited to host Take FLIGHT at ACY on September 26th, featuring our host airport who is also exhibiting!

Atlantic City International Airport, located in Egg Harbor Township, New Jersey, serves residents and visitors across central and southern New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Delaware. As a key regional airport offering commercial air service and worldwide connectivity, ACY plays an important role in connecting the community to opportunities in travel, aviation, and beyond.

Alongside Aviation Influence, Atlantic City International Airport helps create meaningful opportunities for young people to explore the world of aviation and aerospace. By bringing students, families, educators, and industry professionals together at Take FLIGHT, ACY is supporting hands-on learning, career exploration, and inspiration for future pilots, engineers, aviation professionals, and STEAM leaders. We could not be more honored to have them joining us.

We are so glad to return to Atlantic City International Airport, without ACY none of this would be possible!

📸 WE’RE FINALLY GIVING THIS IDEA LIFTOFF! ✈️

We’re incredibly grateful to Jeppesen ForeFlight for making it possible for us to offer something we’ve wanted to bring to Take FLIGHT with AVi for several years: a professional Headshot Studio for young professionals!

📍 Saturday, September 26
📍 Signature Aviation | Atlantic City International Airport (ACY)
⏰ 11:30 AM–2:30 PM

A professional headshot may seem like a small thing, but for a young adult entering the workforce, it can be an important part of building the digital footprint and professional presence needed to take that next step. 📸

We’re also incredibly excited to have Billy Kyle back with us as our official event photographer, videographer. Billy has done an incredible job capturing the energy and impact of our event over the past several years. Each year, he pulls together our official event video—a lasting celebration of the day and a special gift back to the exhibitors, partners and supporters who make Take FLIGHT possible. 🎥

And we’re thrilled to welcome a new partner to the event this year, Tara Williams-Smith of Creative Images by Tara! Tara is a local professional photographer who is generously donating her time & talent to help our young professionals put their best face forward—literally!—as they navigate career opportunities and a digital-first world. 📸

Thank you, Jeppesen ForeFlight, Billy Kyle and Tara Williams-Smith for caring about community, the next generation and the future of our young professionals. ❤️

ARE YOU A YOUNG PROFESSIONAL?

If you’re 18–25 years old and could use a professional headshot for your LinkedIn profile, résumé, portfolio or other professional platforms, this opportunity is for you!

✨ Advance RSVP is required.
