Hail the Conquering CFI
MyGoFlight has entered into a sponsorship agreement with Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University to recognize exceptional students and instructor pilots (IP) through an IP of the Month program at Embry-Riddle’s Daytona Beach, Florida campus.
Dr. Alan Stolzer, dean of the College of Aviation at Embry-Riddle’s Daytona Beach Campus, commended the partnership, stating: “We are grateful for MyGoFlight’s commitment to supporting new pilots and enhancing the aviation workforce. We appreciate their support of our goal to continuously improve our premier flight-training program.”
Per the agreement, MyGoFlight-sponsored IPs of the Month will be featured—presumably in effigy—on a dedicated wall in the campus’s Flight Operations Building. MyGoFlight will also contribute $6,000 to support Embry-Riddle’s Department of Flight.
MyGoFlight President Dominic Martinez remarked: “We are so appreciative and thrilled to be able to partner with Embry-Riddle. They produce some of the best aviators in the industry. We are honored to team up with Embry-Riddle to advance our shared goals for aviation safety.”
Founded in 1926 as a regional school for pilots and aircraft mechanics, Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University currently serves more than 32,000 undergraduate and graduate students. The private university’s main campuses—located in Daytona Beach, Florida and Prescott, Arizona—are supplemented by online programs and satellite locations. Embry-Riddle alumni include: Edgar Mitchell, Apollo 14 Lunar Module Pilot and the sixth man to walk on Earth’s moon: Thomas P. Stafford, Gemini Astronaut and Apollo 10 Commander; Terry W. Virts, NASA Astronaut and International Space Station Commander; Timothy Ray, USAF General (retired), Commander of USAF Global Strike Command; and Charles Brown, 22nd USAF Chief of Staff.
