A Labor of Love! During this celebration of Labor Day weekend, I pause to thank our members for their service to our communities and perpetuating the mission of the Red-Tailed Hawks Flying Club, BPA. I am forever grateful for the nearly eleven years of sweat equity they have poured into the year-around RTH Youth Program and developing our three camps, ROADS teams and flight training. Through outreach, mentoring, coaching and instruction they have engaged, exposed, educated and empowered thousands of youths. Every day with the Red-Tailed Hawks is “Aviation Day”. We fly together, we take care of each other like family, and we fight for the futures of our students. I appreciate you for making it possible. FLY HAWKS! Jesse D. Hayes IV, President
