WE NEED YOUR HELP

According to PilotInstitute.com, the average cost to become a private pilot is $10,000. That cost can easily exceed $30,000 to become a commercial pilot and to be able to make a career in aviation. Many families cannot afford to pay such expenses. We need your help to provide the resources required to fund our scholarship programs. Donate now to help us provide the resources necessary to help these young men and women to pursue their dreams of becoming pilot-in-command of their lives.
