Aerospace Center For Excellence Helps Young Adults Aim High

Sky Lab Is A 22,000 Square Foot Extension Of The Florida Air Museum

Walking down the education corridor at Lakeland Linder International Airport, one can find a museum, a youth aero club, a high school, and, soon, a full science, technology, engineering, and math laboratory. These educational aviation experiences are all connected to the Aerospace Center for Excellence. ACE is separate from Central Florida Aerospace Academy, although the two are intertwined in Lakeland. CFAA is a public high school, but ACE is a nonprofit organization with the mission to "engage, educate, and accelerate the next generation of aerospace professionals," said Education Director Kimberly Brewer.

Following certification, Piper began deliveries to its launch customer, American Flyers, who took delivery of eight (8) Pilot 100i aircraft at the end of 2020.
