Columbus OBAP ACE Academy

The Columbus ACE program is designed to expose youth to the wide variety of career opportunities in
aviation. The goal is to provide an opportunity for students to receive hands-on experience of learning
about the history of aviation, contributions made by minorities in aviation, fundamentals of
aerodynamics, the role of government in aviation, and the many careers available in the aviation
industry. It is also designed to help students understand the importance of education and how it
relates to various aviation and aerospace careers. Students will also experience the joy of flight by
flying in the right seat of an aircraft.
Students will meet Aviation Professionals and participate in field trips to a variety of aviation facilities
and educational institutions.
