To recognize Orville and Wilbur Wright s aeronautical achievements, the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) Evolution of Flight campaign, in partnership with Cessna Aircraft Company, recently awarded 60 Learn to Fly scholarships to the next generation of pilots and visionaries. These scholarships will enable promising students (ages 16-25) to begin or continue the pursuit of their private pilot license. Award winners received a $1,000 scholarship, which will be administered through a Cessna Pilot Center in the recipient s local area. In addition to the monetary award, winners received a complete Cessna private pilot multimedia training system from Cessna Aircraft Company. This computer-based program is an integrated system that combines flight-training material with accompanying flight lessons in a sequence designed to provide the best pilot training possible.
