We are incredibly grateful to The Boeing Company for coming aboard as a Mission Partner in support of Take FLIGHT at ACY!

Boeing has been a valued and ongoing contributor to our events and programming, helping us continue our mission of inspiring and empowering the next generation through aviation, STEM, and hands-on educational experiences.

Thank you, Boeing, for your continued partnership and for helping us create meaningful opportunities that encourage young people to dream big, explore what’s possible, and Take FLIGHT!

Since 2019, Signature Aviation has been by our side as a valued partner in helping Aviation Influence bring our mission to life.

Over the years, that partnership has continued to grow—from supporting our programs and events, to serving as an event host, and now as an annual scholarship donor helping make aviation education and opportunities more accessible to the next generation.

We are especially grateful to have Signature Aviation hosting Take FLIGHT at ACY, creating a space where young people, families, aviation professionals, and our community can come together to explore, learn, and be inspired.

Partnerships like this are what allow our mission to continue growing year after year.

Thank you, Signature Aviation, for believing in our mission, investing in the next generation, and continuing to stand alongside AVi. 

We are grateful to have you with us as we continue to Take FLIGHT!

We are incredibly grateful for the continued support of Influential Drones, a valued partner and significant supporter of Aviation Influence.

Co-Founder Dave Krause, who is also Co-Owner of Influential Drones, has been an integral part of AVi from the beginning—bringing his leadership, expertise, and commitment to our mission through his service on our Board of Directors.

Influential Drones supports customers around the world with a value-driven approach centered on professionalism, commitment, excellence, innovation, and impactful creativity. Their team brings real-world subject matter expertise and a commitment to sharing knowledge through education and consultation—values that align beautifully with AVi’s own focus on learning, opportunity, and inspiring the next generation.

We are especially grateful for the ways Influential Drones continues to invest in AVi—not only through its generous partnership and support, but through the time, leadership, knowledge, and passion Dave brings to our organization.

Thank you, Influential Drones, for believing in what we are building and helping Aviation Influence continue to reach, educate, and inspire the next generation!

Some partnerships are more than a sponsorship—they are woven into the very fabric of what makes the mission possible.

FunD Av Consulting, founded by AVi Co-Founder Lyndse Costabile, has been a foundational supporter of Aviation Influence from the beginning, providing both financial support throughout the year and critical resources that help keep our programs moving forward.

Through FunD Av Consulting, Lyndse also secured and provides the resources for Lady Liberty, giving AVi a flying platform we can call home and an incredible educational tool that allows us to bring aviation directly to the communities and young people we serve. 

Beyond the resources and financial support, Lyndse continues to provide hands-on leadership and administrative oversight as an AVi Board member, helping guide our team, operations, partnerships, and mission throughout the year.

We are incredibly grateful for the investment FunD Av Consulting continues to make in Aviation Influence, our programs, and the next generation.

Thank you for giving AVi the resources, runway, and leadership to keep taking FLIGHT.

We are proud to welcome Global Aerospace back as a valued partner of Take FLIGHT with AVi, continuing a partnership that began last year.

For more than a century, Global Aerospace has helped aviation enterprises of all sizes develop and thrive through world-class aviation insurance solutions. But their commitment to aviation goes beyond protecting the industry today—it also includes investing in the next generation of young people and young adults who share a passion for flight.

We are especially grateful for their continued support of Take FLIGHT with AVi, an event that aligns so closely with their commitment to the future of this dynamic industry.

Thank you, Global Aerospace, for believing in the power of exposure, opportunity, and inspiration—and for helping us inspire the next generation to discover where a passion for aviation can take them. 

We are proud to have you continuing this journey with us!

We are incredibly grateful to PHL PNE for their continued support of Aviation Influence and our mission to inspire the next generation through aviation and STEAM.

For years, PHL PNE has stood alongside us in our efforts to introduce young people to the many possibilities within aviation—and we are thrilled to have their continued support of Take FLIGHT with AVi.

Their commitment to the future of aviation extends to the people who will make it possible: the next generation of pilots, engineers, maintainers, and innovators.

Thank you, PHL PNE, for continuing to invest in young people and helping us show them that there is a place for them in the future of aviation. 

Together, we’re helping the next generation discover where their curiosity can take them.

We are thrilled to welcome Air Culinaire Worldwide as a new partner of Aviation Influence in 2026 and are grateful for their support of Take FLIGHT at ACY!

As a global provider of culinary solutions for the business aviation community, Air Culinaire Worldwide understands the importance of the people behind the industry—and the importance of investing in its future.

As they shared with us, “We’re excited to be part of Take FLIGHT at ACY and connect with the people shaping the future of aviation.”

We are excited to have you with us, Air Culinaire Worldwide, and grateful for your investment in the next generation of aviation leaders, innovators, and professionals.

Welcome to the AVi family!

We are incredibly grateful for the continued support of Leach Strategic Partners and Ron Leach, who have been such a meaningful part of the Aviation Influence community.

From showing up and attending our events to continually encouraging our mission, Ron has consistently given us runway to grow—and we are especially grateful that AVi continues to be considered as part of Leach Strategic Partners’ annual philanthropic giving.

That kind of ongoing belief in our mission means so much to us.

Thank you, Ron and Leach Strategic Partners, for believing in what we’re building, encouraging us along the way, and continuing to invest in the next generation through Aviation Influence.

We are truly grateful to have you in our corner.

For years, Atlantic Cape Community College (ACCC) has been so much more than a supporter of Aviation Influence—they have been a true partner in our mission.

From bringing aircraft, displays, and engaging exhibits to our events, to supporting our silent auctions, ACCC continues to show up in meaningful ways for the young people and families we serve.

Their commitment goes even deeper through Professor Tim Cwik, whose leadership and service on the Aviation Influence Board brings invaluable experience, perspective, and dedication to our organization.

We are incredibly grateful for the way Atlantic Cape Community College continues to invest their time, resources, expertise, and heart into what we are building.

Thank you, ACCC, for caring so deeply about our mission, our programs, and the future of aviation. We are so grateful to have you alongside us!

We are incredibly grateful for the continued partnership of Jeppesen ForeFlight, who have supported Aviation Influence for several years in so many meaningful ways.

What began with in-kind support for our flying events and cross-promotion of our shared efforts has continued to grow. This year, Jeppesen ForeFlight elevated their support as a financial partner, while also contributing to our silent auction and joining us as an exhibitor at Take FLIGHT at ACY for the first time!

We are equally grateful for the leadership and expertise that Kelsey Pittman brings to AVi as a member of our Board of Directors. Having partners who are willing to invest not only financially, but also through their time, talent, and leadership, is incredibly meaningful to our organization.

Thank you, Jeppesen ForeFlight, for continuing to believe in our mission and for growing alongside us. We are grateful for everything you bring to the AVi community—and excited for where this partnership continues to take us!
