12 Clover Cadets Have Earned Their Wings
Over the summer 12 Clover cadets earned their Private Pilot's License through the Air Force Chief of Staff Flight Academy Program.
"The Air Force JROTC Flight Academy, Chief of Staff Private Pilot Scholarship program, is an approximately 8-week summer aviation training program, conducted at partnering universities nationwide. Upon successful completion of the program, students are awarded a Private Pilot’s Certification. The Flight Academy is intended to inspire and encourage high school youth toward aviation careers."
"The scholarship program is a collaborative effort between the aerospace industry and the Air Force to address a national pilot shortage. Currently, Boeing predicts an annual need to hire 6,000 civilian pilots a year for the next 20 years. Military needs quickly push that number over 8,000. According to industry and military leadership, the nation is facing a pilot shortage crisis."
Clover's newest Private Pilots are: Asa Lassiter, Jack Winter, Jackson Zazzaro, Jason Marsan, Ian Storms, Alexis Dragun, Wyatt Park, Molly Sutton, Alex Rulevich, Ceasar Kanobdee, Madelyn Spitzer and Brandon Thomas. The Clover pilots attended training at Embry Riddle Aeronautical University, Liberty University, Delaware State University and Purdue University respectively.
