In the midst of one of the most challenging periods in history, our nation's youth must be prepared to lead in the technological future. Many are not prepared. According to the 2006 Program for International Student Assessment Survey, the United States scored lower than the world average in the subjects of math and science. The U.S. now ranks in the bottom one-third of industrialized countries. Fascination with flight transcends time and generations and is an ideal way to interest students in the scientific, technological, engineering and mathematical (STEM) concepts that allow us to take to the skies. Nurturing this intrigue requires the right blend of state-of-the-art equipment, a dedicated staff and a lot of fun! This environment will foster teambuilding, knowledge and the desire to learn. This vision for today's youth is the guiding purpose of The National Flight Academy at the National Naval Aviation Museum in Pensacola, Florida.
