Mile High Flight Program Update
Due to the COVID – 19 pandemic, the MHF “Crew” has made the difficult decision to cancel all remaining events, including our Summer Phase 2 solo flight training program. Though we know that this is disappointing news, based on all available information, this is the safest course of action. That said, it’s been a great year and we hope you’ve enjoyed your time with us. This year, we introduced one completely new tour and new venues for two existing tours.

All students who are now members of the MHF program are invited to join us for the start of our 25th year which we plan to begin in October. Each student will receive an email at their current address, and we request knowledge of any changes. We also encourage you to tell your friends about our program, visit our website at: https://www.milehighflight.org/ and complete an application.

If anyone has questions, please feel free to reach out to the MHF Crew through the “Contact Us” tab on our website or email us at info@milehighflight.org.

In the meantime, remember the 6 Tuskegee Airmen “Rise Above” principles:

  • Aim High

  • Believe In Yourself

  • Use Your Brain

  • Never Quit

  • Be Ready To Go

  • Expect To Win!

We hope everyone stays safe and healthy. 

Sincerely,
Captain Mosley and the MHF “ Crew ”
Metropolitan State University of Denver
Our tour of Metropolitan State University’s Aviation/Aerospace program was a huge success. As reported earlier, Metro’s Public Relations Office was on hand to record the event and interview some of our members. If you have not had the opportunity to read the article and see the video, please click here.
On the Move!
Bendi and Celest Minu are a brother and sister team that succeed in all that they do. The keys to their success…the 6 Rise Above principles! Both are Phase 2 solo flight pilots and each have taken separate paths to follow their dreams and earn success. Their father writes:

Dear MHFP Crew,

I hope this email finds you in good health.

Some good news to report:

Bendie is going to graduate this year from West Point. Graduation ceremony was scheduled for May 23rd but we’re not sure if the event will be rescheduled for a later date after the country will be open to activities.
Bendie got a full scholarship for his graduate programming degree at Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He has a 2-month internship at IBM before starting his graduate program

Celeste is doing well in her Criminal Justice program. By God’s grace, she will graduate next year. She plans to follow her brother's steps to Grad school upon graduation. We are praying for God to grant her a scholarship.

I want to again thank the MHFP team for everything you did for my kids. They are performing very well in college in part because of all of the good advice given by you. May God bless you.
