As a non-profit organization under 501(c)3 we are looking to raise funds to build an aviation themed playground at Waukesha County Airport. This site will serve to educate and inspire the next generation of engineers, aviators, and beyond!
We are aviation nuts… Walking around an airport gets us jacked. From the roar of engines, listening to the control tower, watching a perfect landing, or sniffing a little jet fuel… there are so many ways to enjoy what aviation has to offer.
As a hobby we love exploring aviation. One of the most empowering experiences is working for a pilot license. Flying teaches so much about responsibility, discipline, teamwork, and communication. And that goes for everyone involved in running an airport successfully. It’s not just the pilots traveling in and out.
So the next adventure is finding a way to spread these confidence building values in kids. An aviation themed playground at one of Southeast Wisconsin's busiest airports is a great place to start! Being surrounded by the activity of the airport while playing on an educational play system will serve as a gateway for kids first exposure to this industry that can provide so many great lessons.
The Future
We created PreFlight Foundation Inc. as a 501(c)3 organization for this very cause. Would you help me launch this exciting dream?!?! From here we hope to host many STEM based events and make this a truly impactful tool for the next generation of pilots, air traffic controllers, engineers or one of many incredible careers that benefit from the strengths aviation can build.
Thank you in advance for your consideration (and for reading this long plea for your support)!
