I don’t know how many states have programs like this, but this program is so cool!

I got a chance to interview one of their board members on the Flying Midwest Podcast. The program gives high school aged kids a week long camp to check out a ton of aviation careers. The camp gives them tours of MSP Tower, they get a trip onto the runways, and even their shot at full motions sims. They even have CFIs give them some time in some GA aircraft. To top it off, they have a bunch of guest speakers and counselors who share their careers with these kids.

It’s a really cool program, something I thought would be worth sharing. The industry as a whole needs more programs like this. Maybe this post can help stir something up in someone elsewhere to build something like it.

Check out the interview to hear all about it.

Oh, and hear about our unofficial, unapproved, and definitely not approved ads for [mention]SixPapaCharlie [/mention] Metar AF App!
