One of the greatest things to happen for high school curriculums is the addition of aviation STEM related courses. The relatively new Tango Flight program is a prime example of what can be done to inspire high school age students to pursue careers in the aviation and aerospace sectors of technology. I had for incredible guests including the founder of Tango Flight, Dan Weyant; the Vice President of Engineering Programs for Airbus Americas, Inc., John O'Leary; the Director of the Pryor High School Innovation Center; and an impressive former high school student and benefactor of Tango Flight who is currently a certified Airframe and Powerplant technician, Emily Moore.

All Things Aviation & Aerospace is an aviation career-oriented webcast providing insight on the variety of opportunities and possibilities in the aviation and aerospace industries. Its host and moderator, Vince Mickens, is a long time private pilot who flies frequently for both personal and business. Mickens background includes strategic partnership executive roles over the last 17 years with the National Business Aviation Association (NBAA), the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA), the AOPA Air Safety Foundation, and the Bob Hoover Legacy Foundation, all after a 28-year broadcast journalism career working in seven major television and radio broadcast markets nationwide.
