Why ACE Camps

The objective of the OBAP ACE Camp Program is to offer exposure of the aviation industry to all young people ages 14 to 18 years old. All 30 students from each Atlanta ACE Camp and 10 students from the Atlanta Flight Line will take part in the “Delta Dream Flight.”

The OBAP ACE Camp serves as a vehicle to expose aviation to young individuals selected to attend and:

1. To develop an awareness of the role of aviation in human history.
2. To discuss the airplane as a vehicle and identify its parts and the principles by which it flies.
3. To encourage students to explore career opportunities in the field of aviation.
4. To help students understand the role of government as it relates to aviation and the overall socio-economic benefits of aviation in their communities and their lives.
5. To provide an introductory flight for students where they can experience firsthand the principles of flight.
6. To increase the number of people of color and women pilots in the commercial aviation industry.
