The 11th commandment…. “Thou Shalt Not Quit!” ….General Daniel “Chappie” James

Hello Everyone!

As we mourn the recent passing of Col Lowell Bell, let’s remember the passion that he and the founding members of the Hubert L. “Hooks” Jones chapter had, not only for preserving the brilliant history of the Tuskegee heroes but for providing golden opportunities for generations to come. As we consider the meaning of our motto… “Giving Our Past A Future”…it brings us great pride for the words of one of Col Bell’s grandsons, and MHF solo student Eli Bell, as he reflected on his experiences in the Mile High Flight program and his plans for an unlimited future. Please read Eli’s moving letter to the MHF “Crew” here.

Tailwinds,

The Mile High Flight “Crew”

United Airlines B737 First Officer Carole Hopsen has devoted her life to service. She was a corporate executive earning a six-figure income when, at 36 years old, she decided to follow her true passion…aviation. At 54 she was hired by United Airlines where she’s living her best life.

Blue Skies Ahead

The Mile High Flight program was excited for the opportunity to apply for assistance from the BRIC (Black Resilience in Colorado) organization and thrilled when we received word that MHF was selected to receive a $20,000 grant! As stated on their website, “BRIC supports nonprofit organizations that are led by and serve Black communities.” We’re grateful to BRIC for their support of our mission, as we continue to provide once-in-a-life-time opportunities to diverse communities throughout the Denver Metro region.
