Welcome to the kickoff of our series. Throughout Black History Month, we’re honoring the trailblazers who broke barriers, claimed their place in the cockpit, and expanded what was possible for generations to follow. Because of them, our students can look up and see not just possibility, but a path.
Before we share their individual stories, we want to hear from you: How many of these aviation icons can you name?🧐
👇🏾 Drop their names in the comments and help us celebrate the pioneers whose legacies continues to lift us higher.
