Introducing Jessica Sanders Walker.
Whose duty is it to inspire our youth and create a pathway for their success in life? My lifelong personal involvement and my family's passion for aviation have inspired me to continue our excellence in aviation by establishing Operation Aviation Foundation (OAF). Providing exposure to aviation can provide a dream and a goal for young people. OAF will provide Aviation Career Education (ACE) camps for youth, predominantly from underserved or underrepresented backgrounds. Together we can build a brighter future for our youth and the aviation industry.
Making aviation a more accessible career path.
Operation Aviation Foundation is committed to improving the accessibility of aviation career paths. We’re proud to support Alabama youth through individual career path planning, discovery flights, flight simulation opportunities, and mentorships.
Take to the skies.
Thank you.
