Hello Everyone!

Providing opportunity is the cornerstone of the Mile High Flight Program (MHFP). We continue to award I-Pads to deserving students for their scholastic and aviation related endeavors. These I-Pads were proudly donated by United Airlines.

We are also pleased to announce that the MHFP was the recent recipient of a $6,000 grant from the Centennial Airport. Our chapter and MHFP were featured in an article which appeared in the Centennial Citizen newspaper. We appreciate the hard work of Chief Fundraiser John Lamb, board members Vorry and Candace Moon and Mark Dickerson for making this generous support possible. Please read the Centennial Citizen article (on the right.)

An update from former MHF student Mackenzie Jordak, who we’ve had the privilege to mentor and encourage over the last few months. Mackenzie writes:

“I wanted to keep you updated because I just found out some very exciting news this past week. After a year and a half of battling to get my first class medical, I finally got it! All my past medical history was approved and a new physical happened, which I also passed. With that news, I’ll be starting at Auburn University and will have a full aviation curriculum. I’m so excited and have carved out some time to participate in some of your events before school starts. I couldn’t have done it without the guidance from everyone and your amazing program.
Blessings,

Mackenzie Jordak”

If you or someone you know is having difficulties obtaining a medical certification, Mackenzie will share her experience directly. You can reach out to her at jordakml@gmail.com.
