1:00 PM to 4PM
Calling all kids aged nine and up! Here’s your chance to learn what flying is all about. The El Paso Museum of History invites you to experience a hands-on flight school taught by Suzanne Azar, Chief Flight Instructor at Blue Feather Flight School. In this three-hour session you learn about components of the aircraft, aerodynamics, instruments used in the cockpit, navigation, and what the requirements are to become a pilot. If you are a Boy or Girl Scout you can meet some of the requirements for your badge work!
In addition to being the first and only woman elected as Mayor of El Paso, Suzanne Azar is also the President of Blue Feather Aero, an aircraft refueling business. She owns nine aircraft and has flown everything from a 1956 Apache to a 690B Commander turboprop. Ms. Azar has been a pilot for 30 years. For 25 years she has been a flight instructor, earning the FAA’s “Gold Seal” flight instructor license. She is a member and past chair of the 99s, an organization founded by Amelia Earhart for women aviators.
This is a wonderful opportunity to learn about flying without ever leaving the ground and best of all, it is being offered for free.
Space is limited, so call now to make reservations.
