2024 Red-Tailed Hawks FLY Cadets Have Taken Off! The ninth class of Red-Tailed Hawks Flight Lesson for Youth (FLY) started last weekend with two days of orientation and ground school. Twelve cadets have begun their journey towards private pilot certification, and for the next two weeks, they will be immersed in flight training and ground school nine hours a day. This jump-start to their learning is conducted in partnership with The Boeing Company, Galvin Flying, and the Red-Tailed Hawks Aviation Academy.
Nine cadets from WA, one from OR, and two from NY will not only learn pilot knowledge and skills but will also prepare to teach and serve during Boeing Field Airport Day and RTH Aviation Day Camp. They will participate in community outreach, teach campers the fundamentals of flight and airplane systems, and serve as ground crew for discovery flights. Hats off to our RTH Instructors.
