New High School Aviation Club
Three of my friends and I have started an Aviation Club at our High School to share our passion for flying and educate other students about airplanes and various careers related to aviation. To cut to the point, I am wondering if there is anyone out there who is willing to donate old sectional charts, UNAIRWORTHY instruments, airplane parts, and other aviation related items. Also, suggestions and hints are appreciated so we can make the club better.
Thank you!
Young Eagles and Youth Aviation Adventure
Have you considered organizing a Young Eagles Event? Great way to get in the air and promote aviation. Or there may be an EAA Chapter in the area that already has one? Or search the EAA Young Eagles site for a schedule of events. Hopefully something close.
There is also Youth Aviation Adventure happening this Saturday, Sept. 29th. A little short notice, sorry. A 9am to 3pm event put together for Boy/Girl Scouting merit badge that is really pretty good and draws over 100 or more kids. I don't think they would turn away any interested youth group. I'll inquire while there this weekend. Next one is in May!
You may also try contacting Cleveland Police. They have (or had) an aviation department. Try to get a tour? Or perhaps Life Flight? Contact the FBO's at Burke Lakefront or Cuyahoga County airports.
Good Luck,
