We want to give a huge thank you to everyone who contributed to today`s potluck, especially Austin Ottis for grilling up the hot dogs in the rain!
We were excited to welcome the Nebraska State Patrol to Ignite this past Friday, for a special presentation about their aviation program.
This was a great opportunity for students to see how pilots play a vital role in law enforcement. The presentation covered how the Nebraska State Patrol uses aircraft to support public safety, the types of missions they fly, and what it takes to pursue a career in this field.
A huge round of applause to these dedicated student pilots who have recently achieved major milestones in their flight training. Your commitment and skill continue to impress us all! ✈️👏
