Alumn Testimonials

Grace Kane, recipient of FEFY’s first female camp scholarship in 2019. She is now a corporate pilot.

“I find myself looking back on my week there frequently. I am so appreciative of that opportunity. It gave me a completely new outlook on my future and provided me immense growth both as an individual and a pilot. I can't thank you enough – it had a very big impact on me!”

Nick Colwell, former Line Crew member, and recent graduate of UC-Santa Barbara.

“Thank you for covering the Youth Member dues. While I have been away at college and haven’t been able to fly much the last couple of summers, it means a lot to have FEFY make it easier to stay part of the airport community and to come back and fly.

FEFY, the line crew program, and flying at 0B7 were more formative for me during high school than I can even convey. I continue to regularly draw on what I learned from that experience in my everyday life, at my job, in school, and in applying to work after graduation, and I expect to continue using it in the future.

I hope to be back at the airport and get in the air before too long. In the meantime, thank you for covering the dues and for everything else you’re doing for the line crew program, soaring camps, and other youth activities at the airport.

Thank you so much!”
