I recently reconnected with a former student of mine who has an incredible background in aviation, including over 15 years in the U.S. Air Force flying the U-2 spy plane. He currently serves as a commercial pilot for a major airline and is an active member of the Civil Air Patrol (CAP).

Through the Civil Air Patrol, he has access to fantastic, free programs and STEM resources designed specifically for schools and youth organizations. This includes interactive educational materials and unique opportunities for students to experience flights in small aircraft at no cost to the school.

Given how much our students would benefit from this type of real-world exposure, I wanted to see who the best point of contact would be to move this forward. 

I would love to help facilitate an introduction so we don't miss out on these incredible resources.
