#DARETODREAMEVENT #FOREVERONTHEFLY

The "Dare to Dream" Aviation Career Days are being organized in order to inspire our youth to dream big! We want them to know that no dream or goal is insurmountable. Our mission is to provide a hands-on experience with aviation, and educate students on all of the possibilities to them in the field of aviation and aerospace. Let’s promote a DIVERSE and INCLUSIVE industry TOGETHER!

Our debut Dare to Dream: Aviation Day at HANGAR 21 in Fullerton, CA was a HUGE success!

Thanks to our sponsors, contributors, vendors, and US Military, we were able to provide an aviation educational experience for over 550 guests, and flew 156 students in helicopters!

I am blown away by the outpour of support for this event from our attendees, the City of Fullerton, Fullerton Airport, EAA Young Eagles, and so many others.

Thank you to all of our attendees who helped us keep our event safe by masking up and distancing during the event. We understand the wide range of opinions on the matter of masks and covid 19, but we want to extend a thank you to everyone who helped us achieve a safe environment for the kids, our staff, and other attendees.

INTERACTIVE AVIATION CAREER DISCOVERY

We’re here to get educated on what type of careers are out there in the aviation field. You don’t have to be a pilot to be involved with aviation, and we’re here to open our youth’s eyes to the many possibilities and opportunities they have. We all work together as a team!

Huge THANK YOU to our guest speakers who volunteered their time and expertise to educate the students and attendees on a career in aviation.
