Your Journey Starts Here
See what working in aviation is actually like. You’ll get behind-the-scenes access to a working airport and aviation maintenance facility—not just hear someone talk about aviation in a classroom.
Get hands-on and up close with real aircraft. See how airplanes work, how they’re inspected and repaired, and what it takes to keep them flying safely.
Meet people who actually work in aviation. Talk directly with aircraft mechanics, pilots, airport personnel, and other aviation professionals about what they do, how they got there, and what their careers are really like.
Discover careers you may not know exist. Aviation goes far beyond being a pilot. There are opportunities in aircraft maintenance, avionics, engineering, airport operations, aircraft sales, and other skilled trades.
Learn about career paths that don’t necessarily require a four-year degree. If you like working with your hands, solving problems, mechanics, technology, STEM, or figuring out how things work, there are aviation careers that can offer strong earning potential without following a traditional college path.
Figure out whether aviation could be for you. You don’t need to already know anything about airplanes. Discovery Day is designed to let you experience the industry firsthand and see if something catches your interest.
