A 501 (c) 3 foundation formed to support the families of our military.

Mission Statement: Through the modem of aerospace education we open the doors of opportunity.  Teens-In-Flight provides flight training and aviation maintenance scholarships to those teens who have lost a parent in the Global War On Terrorism or, is the teen of a parent who was wounded in action and is disabled. Another phase of our program also focuses on selected teens that are considered "at risk" within our community by providing a positive aviation intervention experience.

After the first flight.

Touching Heaven's Floor By: Jessica Monkhouse Will I get sick? I hope nothing bad happens" This is what I was thinking before we took off. I wasn't feeling just one emotion. It was more like a little of everything. I felt proud, happy, and anger the most. I used to have the most of the common of all fears; fear of heights and flying. Well, 1 am so proud of myself because I overcame both in one shot or in other words I killed two birds with one stone. I also didn't get sick. Most people I know get sick their first flight. This leads to my next emotion; happiness. Do you know the good, warm, happy feeling you get when you are at home and comfortable somewhere? That's how I felt in the sky. I felt like I belonged. I was so comfortable in that atmosphere that I couldn't stop smiling. That is so uncommon for me. I couldn't believe how much we take for granted. I realized this when I saw the reds, yellows, and blues, pinks and purples of the sunset. It was so beautiful. I was amazed at how things looked 3000 feet up. Just seeing the beauty of it, made me glad that I was alive. My happiness made me feel a great amount of eagerness. On Thursday, the next day, I was so exited to tell everyone about my experience. I was so exited to be able to tell everyone about my flight. What surprised me the most was when they actually wanted to hear my story. My eagerness led me to beg Col. Howell to let me go up again. Well I guess all of my eagerness and excitement really paid off. I am so glad that I decided to come to Ribault because I wouldn't have had this chance. This chance to peruse my life's goal. I love flying so much that I am willing to travel one hour every day to come to school. I only wish I could put on this paper every thought, feeling and sight when I touched heaven's floor.
