Tomorrow’s Aeronautical Museum » Aviation Explorers: Helping Kids Reach The Sky

The Aviation Explorers Program

Creating Futures 1 Pilot At A Time.
Aviation Explorers is Tomorrow's Aeronautical Museum's elite group of young pilots. These youngsters have earned an opportunity to become a pilot being rewarded for their hard work, commitment, and attendance to the museum's After School Programs. These young pilots learn to fly at the same flight school, Aero Squad, where grown-ups receive flight instruction.

7 World Records In Aviation.
In only a few years, 4 Aviation Explorers have set 7 World Records. These world record young pilots such as Jonathan Strickland, Breean Farfan, Jimmy Haywood, and Kenny Roy have demonstrated the positive results of the Life-Changing programs offered by Tomorrow's Aeronautical Museum. Additionally, with the help of The Tuskegee Airmen they have been able to stay focused and inspired.

We Teach Kids To Fly... For Free.
Aviation Explorers is an after school program which is not only supported by recycled profits from the Aero Squad flight training school for grown-ups, but primarily funded by the help of the Aviation Angels. This coalition of financially committed supporters help TAM lobby for more funding of youth aviation programs in Washington D.C. To join the Aviation Angels or for more information regarding how you can make a difference and become a part of history, click here.

All proceeds from the Aviation Angels and Aero Squad provide scholarships to select K-12 grade school students, providing them with flight training, focused mentoring, and determination "Realize Their Dreams".

Recognized & Accepted by School Districts

We Get Kids Off The Streets.
This is more than a flight school; it's a concept and a solution. The perfect win-win situation. This school is the foundation of a program that addresses a nationwide problem that affects all children in all communities, the lack of after school activities, mentorship, positive role models, and funding for pilot training. Studies have shown that the highest percentages of juvenile crimes occur between the hours from 3-6 p.m.

We train the children in our program not just about all the different aspects of aviation and provide an opportunity they never dreamed possible, but about skill sets which they can use in any career and for the rest of their lives.

We Have "Rock Star" Support.
