  1. Words to Live By • What can you conceive more silly and extravagant than to suppose a man racking his brains, and studying night and day how to fly? — William Law, 'A Serious Call to a Devout and Holly Life XI,' 1728 • I confess that in 1901, I said to my brother Orville that man would not fly for fifty years. . . . Ever since, I have distrusted myself and avoided all predictions. — Wilbur Wright, in a speech to the Aero Club of France, 5 November 1908 • There is no hope for the fanciful idea of reaching the Moon because of insurmountable barriers to escaping the earth's gravity. — Dr. F. R. Moulton, University of Chicago astronomer, 1932.

  3. A Little Bit About AVSED

  4. AVSED Vision

  5. Why is it important? • Projections indicate significant shortages in our aerospace workforce • It is vital to economic growth - 3-5% GDP • It is vital to industrial growth - 10 Million jobs • It is vital to America

  6. So how do we do this?

  7. Collaborations

  8. National Partnerships • Build-A-Plane (BAP) • Civil Air Patrol (CAP) • Jamail Larkins and Dream Launch Tour • Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) • FAA Commercial Space Transportation • International Black Aerospace Council (IBAC) • National Aeronautics & Space Administration (NASA) • National Association of State Aviation Officials (NASAO) • National Coalition for Aviation Education (NCAE) • Ninety-Nines, Inc. • Organization of Black Airline Pilots (OBAP) • Women in Aviation International (WAI) • Youth Aviation Adventure (YAA)

  9. Youth Aviation Adventure Introducing young people to the exciting world of aviation! • The Youth Aviation Adventure Program (YAA) was founded in Columbus, Ohio in 1997 by Dan Kiser and Steve Wathen. • Each program typically attracts 150-200 participants. • Currently, YAA has over one hundred pilot and other adult volunteers. • Kids spend about twenty minutes at each of the nine stations where they participate in discussions and activities. • YAA program as a modular, inexpensive, repeatable system that can be transplanted and duplicated anywhere.
