Red-Tailed Hawks Meet in the DMV! Over the years, RTH members have migrated to the East Coast and a significant number have landed in DC, MD, and VA (DMV). Therefore, we gather once a year around the Valintine weekend to spread the love, enjoy aviation comradery and bowl. This year, 32 persons connected on Saturday, February 15th to promote the August BPA national meeting in VA, to share the vision for a Flight Lessons for Youth (FLY) Maryland program, and to garner support for the Jasper Harris, Jr. Aviation Scholarship.
August 22-24, the Newport News, VA chapter of BPA will host the National Meeting. Make plans to attend. Details, when available, will be posted on www.bpapilots.org. Join a chapter today!
In partnership with Plane Life LLC, FLY Maryland is envisioned to expand the efforts of the Red-Tailed Hawks FLY and the BPA Summer Flight Academy and operate in August annually.
Jasper Harris, Jr was an Electrical Engineering graduate of Howard University and one of the first black engineers hired by the Boeing Company in the 1951. You are encouraged to contribute to this scholarship fund that has awarded $132,600 to college students since 2020. https://redtailedhawksflyingclub.org/jasper-harris-jr.../
