“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

“My experiences at the EAA Air Academy and AirVenture inspired me to attend the Worcester Polytechnic Institute, and now I plan to double major in Physics and Aerospace Engineering.”
~ Danny Long

“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”

“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.”
