FF Aviation took flight during the FFHS Academic Awards Ceremony today - Val achieved a perfect “777” CTE score, Jorge had the highest ASVAB school’s score & ALEX WAS SELECTED as CTE STUDENT OF THE YEAR! Couldn’t be more proud of these three amazing young people!! 🫡

First Flight Aviation enjoyed hosting the League of Women Voters & their spouses this morning…had a GREAT TIME & thanks Judy for setting up the visit!

First Flight Aviation took on some gusty Runway 21 flight ops this morning with two of our biggest supporters…plus we spent some time with local aviation enthusiasts & OBX visitors at FFA!

Wake up on Wednesday to some good First Flight Aviation news - Finn, one of the hardest working members who’s ever been on our team, was deservedly recognized for the Father Klaus Scholarship & will use this generous grant as he continues his education at UNCW this fall! 🫡

Even with only 6 classes left this school year 😮, the First Flight Aviation Team leaned into a STRONG Tuesday of deburr ops on the Sling2 empennage! Why Not You? Why Not Now?

CTE Signing Day at FFHS!

What a beautiful Monday for flying on the Outer Banks!

Thursday Flight Ops ranged all over the skies of the Outer Banks - from Corolla to Oregon Inlet - with the First Flight Aviation Team putting N504TF through its paces once again!

First Flight Aviation continued N504TF flight ops today for our current class…plus an already qualified pilot 💪 from our 2025 grad class stopped by for some flight time🫡!

From Corolla to Oregon Inlet…it was a very good Thursday for First Flight Aviation!

Happy Monday from First Flight Aviation and…THANKS to the Coastland Times Team!

THANKS to everyone who came out this week to share the good times with First Flight Aviation!

Another Fly Day for our Seniors 2026! Callsigns “Notso” (who logged our first student PIC time), “Val” (who did all the wiring to make that green position light work) and “Racquet” (who gave visiting students from Gastonia some great aviation training) all got airborne over OBX!
