250

Island Air Express is excited to announce a unique opportunity for young students this summer. The flight school will offer an introduction to the world of aviation through the Flight School Association of America’s AeroCamp. Students ages 11-18 are invited to participate in the program which will run from June 7-11.

206cCampers will be familiarized with all things aviation before taking to the skies for in-flight training. Students who prefer to stay on the ground can do so and will cover several aspects of flight including instruction on radio communications, airport traffic patterns, and the basics of aeronautical charts. Campers will be taught by professional certified flight instructors with years of experience in the business.

This program is ideal for anyone interested in a career in aviation, a field that offers very diverse opportunities and professional paths. The price of the camp is $695 and will include flight time, a camp t-shirt, and breakfast.

Island Air Express is located at Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport and has been training student pilots since 1994. The school was founded by the late Morris Jarmon Sr., who was decorated with the purple heart for his bravery in the Vietnam War.
