Who We Are

WHAT IS AVIATION EXPLORING:

Exploring is the young adult career education program of Learning for Life for both young men and women who are 14 and graduates of the eighth grade or 15 through 20 years of age.  Aviation Exploring is a youth development program centered around aviation careers.  Aviation Explorers might choose to take orientation flights in military transports, helicopters, gliders, or single-engine general aviation aircraft.  They might take trips to places such as Air Force bases, aviation museums, air shows, or FAA facilities.  They might learn to preflight an aircraft.  They might take pilot training ground school classes.  The bottom line is that Aviation Exploring is action-oriented.

WHAT IS “THE FLYING SQUIRRELS”:

The flying squirrels is both the nickname for Explorer Post 2657and the name of the non-profit corporation, which owns the “squirrels” airplane.  The non-profit corporation, “The Flying Squirrels Inc.”, operates the airplane for the primary use of the young adults who are members in good standing of Explorer Post 2657.
