SCHOOLS AND EDUCATION

SCHOOLS VISIT AIRSHOW

990 students from schools all around San Diego attended the Wings Over Gillespie airshow in 2005. They came from elementary schools through community colleges, both public and private. School attendance has increased by about 450 students over the past 4 years. In addition to schools close to Gillespie Field, students come from as far away as Alpine, Poway, Bonita and Chula Vista. Admission is free to students, their teachers and chaperones on Friday. We request that they have a ratio of at least one adult for every 10 students.

YOUTH IN AVIATION

Air Group One supports the "Gillespie Field Youth in Aviation Scholarship Fund", whose website is at http://yiav.org/. Thanks to the Youth In Aviation organization, selected students have been given the opportunity to take ground school and flying lessons, allowing them to participate in the wonderful world of aviation.
