We're a non-profit organization that delivers entertaining aviation-themed programs.
We've graduated over 2000 "Co-Pilots" over the last 20+ years and facilitated over 1500 free flights.

How it Works
We have 5 different programs that are open to the public and completely free. You do them in order, starting with a fun laugh-till-your-cheeks-hurt ground school and working your way through free flights and more free classes. These award-wining programs aren't just great fun - they will also turbo-boost your confidence and self-esteem.
 
 
Step 1
Co-Pilot Class - Earn your Co-Pilot License
A fun, interactive, day in Ground School with activities, games, outdoor exercises, and group work. Makes you eligible for a Co-Pilot Flight.

Free? Yes, really! Our organization and the volunteer pilots that conduct your flights pay for all classroom and flight-related expenses (including fuel). The only cost to you is to get yourself to/from the class and flights and your personal meals and lodging (as applicable).
