ABLE FLIGHT PILOTS HONORED AT PARTY AT FANTASY OF FLIGHT

Surrounded by friends and historic aircraft, Jessica Scharle, Wesley Major, Kevin Crombie, Tyrell Rhodes, Jason Jernigan, Heather Schultz, Matt Sponaugle, Sean O'Donnell, Jeremy Maddox, Jorge Urea, Tonny Pizzifred and Stephany Glassing were honored at Able Flight's benefit party at Fantasy of Flight on April 20th.
Earlier in the day a number of Able Flight pilots received a private tour of SimCom's Orlando facility including their choice of aircraft for simulator time. And after arriving at Fantasy of Flight, all guests were treated to an after hours tour of Kermit Week's incredible collection of aircraft.
Nearly one hundred guests attended, sharing great food and music by the Paul Thorn Band,  all made possible by the generous support of Able Flight sponsors Sennheiser, Embraer and Signature Flight Support. With donations for seats and the proceeds from the night's auction, Able Flight received funding to support up to two scholarships. For more on the party including special guests and additional photos, visit here.
