“I was sponsored to be a camp counselor at the EAA Air Academy, and the leadership skills I learned there have helped me through my ROTC field training and also with the cadets I now train.”
~ Patrick Pelletier
“I enjoyed the flight in the Cessna SkyCatcher. I was finally able to grasp the understanding of coordinated turns. Simulator time wouldn’t compensate for the short amount of time I was able to spend executing these turns”
~ Patrick Galt
“At the Academy we did projects in various aviation areas. While creating wooden wing ribs, metal spark plug trays and a fiberglass clipboard, I was able to learn so much about the math and science of the aviation industry”
~ Efrain Hernandez
“My favorite part of the camp was co-piloting a Cessna 162 Skycatcher, experiencing zero-G dives and a two-G turn. It was exhilarating and has inspired me to pursue my own private pilot’s license.”
~ Kevin Patterson-Schiff
“I would encourage anyone to attend the EAA Air Academy. It was 11 days that I will always remember and changed me in a great way.”
~ Abby Perkins
