 It's it's phenomenal. So some of them don't even have a driver's license They have more experience flying a plane than they do driving a car Started a high flight Academy for 2022 in June of this year general Browns Rated Diversity Initiative to energize youth ages 16 up to 23 We're trying to make the diversity of the Air Force more closely match the diversity of the nation Amazing that they're actually offering this. I think that a lot of our younger generation They don't see a lot of pilots that look like them In the Air Force and commercial they just don't see it And so I feel like this program kind of lets them have that opportunity to see that this is a possibility for them three three-week sessions In which the students come out the primary focus is flight training so they get up to 15 hours of Flight training in Cessna 172s With a kind of a stretch goal to solo at the end of that 15 hours if they're ready being here throughout the nine weeks and watching all of the students From the time that they start literally not even knowing which rudder to press as they're going down and then Watching them just be fully confident in knowing that they're able to solo and fly that plane on their own is amazing That was probably the most rewarding part of the program students are the best It is amazing to be able to watch them grow from week one to week three So they come in here. We pick them up from the airport. They're very shy reserved Kind of ask a few questions. Don't know what they're getting themselves into And then they do is they just take it and they run with it, which has been awesome Getting up in the sky and really getting the hands-on experience is amazing the people you like you're don't know anybody here and You come in flights as groups and what I really love is like really getting to know these people as well Like the cadre like I was saying earlier getting to know the cadre getting to know the student body It's like wow you understand we're alike. I guess same height to me So far for the past two and a half weeks it's been I guess it's not what I expected I thought it was just flight training and just like military and on honesty and just going through like a nine-to-five flying day sims and like ground school, but In the past two weeks, I think it's been a little bit more than that like the flight that I'm in Charlie flight Honestly, I think I'm just keep in touch with these kids Like I think they're gonna be some some good friends in the future in aviation Mentorship is a big part of it as a staff. We're trying to model what Wright looks like as as an Air Force and The end goal is to is to give them something to aspire to to give them the students the confidence through the flight training and encouragement To let them know that they can they can do things. They otherwise might have thought they could We want everybody to apply. I don't care where you come from. I don't care how you grew up I don't care your background I want you to know that this opportunity is here for you and that we would love for you to be able to come down and Learn how to fly with us once you get into senior leadership is One of your major obligations is to train your replacement. So I I hope I've done that with 72 students over the summer
