I have been involved with the Wright Flight program in Tucson, Arizona for over 5 years helping to keep kids motivated in school and rewarding them with the opportunity to fly an aircraft upon their successful completion. Many volunteers lend their time and aircraft to reward goal setting, motivated 5th grade and higher students who complete the ‘History of Aviation’ program with the opportunity to fly an aircraft. The school teachers who incorporate the Wright Flight program into their teaching curriculum are great advocates of the motivational power of General Aviation.
Wright Flight founder Robbin Stoddard was mentioned briefly in AOPA Pilot in the article about Jessica Cox who took her very first flight at the controls of a Wright Flight C-172 with me instructing her. It would be great for AOPA to review the outstanding contribution to General Aviation that all of the amazing volunteers involved in the Wright Flight Program throughout the country have made to today’s youth through their generous donation of time and money.
Please contact me, or call Mark Hollinger at (520) 294-0404 to inquire about this great program that has motivated thousands of kids throughout the country with General Aviation.

Thank You for your time.
