I want to thank you all for your thoughtful and generous support of FEFY, Sugarbush Soaring’s youth programs and our airport community. Through my role at the airport, I have the privilege of seeing the direct results of your support. Despite the weather challenges this season, we saw so many accomplishments and great moments. The entire group of staff and Line Crew worked hard to help these young people achieve their goals. As an example, during the two weeks leading up to the August checkrides, it was unflyable nearly every day, and when it was flyable, the flight schedule was booked solid. So whenever we had a weather window, we would run what we called the “nightshift.” After the normal busy day wound down around 5pm, we would reset, some additional Line Crew and instructors would show up, and the checkride candidates would fly as much as they could to practice maneuvers, spot landings and whatever else needed work. During rainy days, we would conduct group ground schools where everyone chipped in with their knowledge, support, and engagement. The whole team gave everything they could, and I was honored to be there to see them pull together. The camps this year were super special in many ways. Even though they are only one week long, I am always amazed to see the high levels of growth, engagement, empowerment and confidence. Thank you for helping make this possible for these young people. I am lucky to be part of it.
