Able Flight: Aviation Career Training Scholarships Awarded

Dear Reader, When you donate to the Able Flight Scholarship Fund, you become more than a donor...you become a partner in its mission. Our thanks to Landmark Aviation for supporting Able Flight pilots. Able Flight has received a Quality of Life Grant from the Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation to provide aviation career training for a wounded and paralyzed veteran. If you know someone who would be a good candidate, please have them visit the Scholarships page at our website. Scholarships are available for training for certification for aviation repair, airline dispatcher, air traffic control and other approved aviation career programs. Help us help a wounded veteran by letting them know about this unique opportunity.  Thanks to TBMOPA Foundation for their grant to support aviation career training for people with physical disabilities.  Thanks to AeroShell for their continuing support of Able Flight's scholarship program.
