The Gillespie Field Eagles is a non-profit charitable organization* dedicated to
providing aviation training to high school youth up to the age of eighteen. Our goal
is to provide flight training to young adults who would not otherwise have the opportunity
to the many career possibilities in aviation. We are supported by the local community,
parents and interested individuals. All board members are volunteers who are active
in the community and have an intense interest in today’s youth. Most have extensive
aviation backgrounds and a willingness to share their knowledge and experience to
the benefit of others.
Our flight instructors and mechanics are licensed volunteers who also donate their
services to our students. The students are expected to support the program by assisting
in the various activities necessary for the success of this program.
