Welcome to our campaign! We’re excited to announce that we’re raising funds for a brand-new hangar to house both the S2F Tracker and Flight Expo Youth Programs. This new facility will provide the space we need to grow and continue offering life-changing, hands-on aviation experiences that are accessible to everyone. Our programs are designed for people of all ages, from daycare groups to senior citizen assisted living centers, with a special focus on making aviation accessible to all.
Why We Need Your Support
Our mission is simple: we want to expose as many people as possible to the world of aviation and make it accessible to everyone, regardless of age or background.
The new hangar will allow us to expand our programs and continue offering opportunities for:
Daycare programs: Introducing young children to aviation in a fun, educational, and engaging way.
School field trips: Providing an immersive, hands-on learning experience about flight and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) education.
Youth programs: Inspiring the next generation of pilots, engineers, and aviation enthusiasts through exciting workshops and flight experiences.
Senior citizen activities: Offering enriching activities that bring joy and stimulate cognitive functions for seniors in assisted living centers.
Flight Expo is implementing a new program by utilizing a first-of-its-kind Computer Program designed for 11th and 12th Graders interested in pursuing careers as Aviation Mechanics. The program is 90% computer based and 10% hands on.
The lessons are designed to teach students the necessary information to complete the General Section of their FAA Mechanic Certification. (Certification involves 3 parts: General, Powerplant, and Airframe.)
Completing the first section before technical college could shorten their time in post-secondary school.
This year's tuition is currently covered by a grant!
Join Flight Expo at the Princeton Primary School on Saturday, April 26th from 10am - 1pm. We will be bringing the mobile cockpit for children and families to explore.
Learn more about our programs, flight club, upcoming events, fundraisers, and more!
Our goal is to create an opportunity for youth ages 12 - 18 to get involved in and explore aviation careers by allowing them to get hands on experience with real aircraft.
All work on aircraft is done under the supervision of a Licensed Airframe and Powerplant Mechanic.
Join the Flying Club to learn and experience flying through our flight school program. Students will be responsible for working on their own using Sporty's Learn to Fly Course as a portion of their ground school.
Flight Expo's Flying Club is open to adults as well our Build-A-Plane students.
