“The TLC grant has supported me financially and mentally. When I began flight training, I lacked confidence as a student pilot and PIC. Being one of the first grant recipients boosted my confidence in training and leadership. Thanks to AAAA's generosity and encouragement, I can now pursue an aviation career.”
