Ten years ago, we started the Red-Tailed Hawks Flying Club (RTH) to introduce underserved and underrepresented youth to the world of aviation and champion STEM learning. We began with two student members and the vision of “Legacy Lift, Future Thrust.” Today, under the charter of Black Pilots of America, Inc., we boast several education programs, including RTH Aviation Experience, RTH Aviation Day Camp, Red-Tailed Hawks FLY, and the inaugural Aerospace Science Camp. We also offer the Jasper Harris, Jr. Aviation Scholarship and the Dr. Jesse D. Hayes, Jr. STEM Scholarship. Through our programming and outreach, we touch the lives of over 1000 students annually. Please help us tell the world about our impact on the lives of youths and the seeds we are planting for the aerospace industry.
Our Honorees are Stacey Hill of The Boeing Company, John Miller of Puget Sound Soaring Association, and Stacia Bible of Odel Middle School.
The emcee is Angela Russell, a journalist and storyteller.
