OKLAHOMA CITY — Five Oklahoma high schools will receive a flight simulator to enhance the implementation of the You Can Fly aviation curriculum, thanks to a donation from the Corporate Aircraft Association.
Each of the five schools — Durant, Alva, Bartlesville, Duncan, and Lawton — was selected by officials with the Oklahoma Aeronautics Commission “because of their willingness to serve as leaders in the building of high-quality aviation programs in their regions of Oklahoma,” state officials said.
The five schools are among the nearly 30 Oklahoma schools that are teaching the You Can Fly curriculum during the 2021-2022 school year. Developed by the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA), the free program offers schools the opportunity to teach two aviation pathways of curriculum to students in Grades 9-12 and prepare them for a career in aviation.
Leaders of the Corporate Aircraft Association (CAA) selected Oklahoma for the donation because of positive interactions they had at airports in the state. They worked with officials with the Oklahoma Aeronautics Commission to determine the most effective way to benefit students interested in aviation.
“CAA’s mission is to support and to preserve corporate and general aviation,” said Bob Bordes, CAA president. “I can’t think of a better way to reach so many students. We hope these simulators help inspire an entire generation to consider a career in aviation.”

Translated: Your decision to give flight simulators to a flight school is very well seen.
