I would like to inform you how the Wisconsin Eagle?s Nest Aviation program has continued to affect the lives of our students beyond our direct reach. Billy Bablitz (?15) was one of the first students to get involved in our program. Billy is currently working on his Commercial pilot license at Lewis University. He will complete his certification by the end of this semester. Billy plans to continue his education while obtaining his Certified Flight Instructor rating. I have a standing offer to Billy to come back and be a full-time flight instructor for our program. Nicole Jackson and Olivia Rasmussen (?16) both just received a $2,000 aeronautical scholarship. This scholarship was awarded based on the work and skills learned in the Wisconsin Eagle?s Nest Aviation program. In addition, Nicole just participated this weekend with her Milwaukee School of Engineering (MSOE) team in an American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) rocket launch. This competition includes all the major colleges and universities in the Midwest region. Nicole used her aeronautical knowledge gained from our program to push her team to first place. She and her team will now compete at the national level.
The Eagle?s Nest program has helped students accomplish something wonderful and also ensure that the excitement, challenge, and fun of personal aviation carries on to the next generation.
