What an incredible week for our future aviation professionals!

Students attending the OBAP ACE Academy had the opportunity to experience aviation from the inside out through an amazing series of behind-the-scenes tours across the St. Louis aviation community. Throughout the week, students visited:
✈️ Boeing 777X Manufacturing Facility
🛩️ GoJet Airlines Headquarters
🔧 GoJet Maintenance Facility
❤️ Southwest Airlines Operations
🎧 FAA Air Traffic Control Tower.  Along the way, they met the professionals who keep aviation moving every day—including airline pilots, flight attendants, flight dispatchers, aircraft mechanics, air traffic controllers, engineers, and military aviation professionals. These experiences gave students a firsthand look at the many exciting career pathways available in aviation and aerospace.
