Every Kid Can Fly

The pilot community at the salinas airport is amazing. Pilots and non pilots volunteered their time on a Saturday morning to help us fly 20 kids around for many students this was their first airplane ride. We love taking students from zero to solo but we love introducing students and parents to the joy that comes from general aviation. Non of this could be possible without the help and support from our marvelous volunteers. #loveflying #youngeagles #pilotsrock

Young Eagles flights for our next potential set of our students.

Team Two designed their own logo. Great design.

There he goes .

We are very proud of Manuel, Jennifer, Kikue, Miriam , and Brittany. They have all come a long way in these past 8 weeks.

Before his solo flight. Sean D. Tucker offered Manuel his airshow advice of walking and visualizing his flight on the ground before going off and flying. Together they walked the pattern for Runway 26 at Salinas Municipal Airport.

KSBW and the Californian were both there to share this amazing day with us. Check out KSBW at 5,6 and 11. And the Salinas Californian tomorrow. Great Job Manny.
