About Us

Our Story

The Flight Academy was started in 1996 by four Pensacola Naval Flight Instructors with a strong desire to give back to the community.  All four founders are currently airline pilots and live in different parts of the country, but remain committed to the youth of the Pensacola community.  During the course of the year they make countless trips to Pensacola to build the programs, handle day-to-day operations, organize the annual Summer Camp and teach Weekend Classes.  To this day, all the pilots remain hands-on mentors to the Pensacola youth. 

Our Mission and Intention

 Build confidence in disadvantaged youth (with an emphasis on African American teens), using Aviation as the key learning discipline and motivational conduit.


Our Intention

 Our Programs aim to provide a future workforce for the aerospace industry and to inspire good citizenship using the legacy of General Daniel Chappie James Jr.

Our Five Areas of Focus

 1. Aviation Basics & Aerodynamics
2. Academic Excellence
3. Independent Thinking & decision making
4. Presentation & public speaking skills
5. Financial Life Skills 

Help us help kids!
