industry," said Larkins. "I was given so many opportunities to
fulfill my aviation dreams and I want to help give that same
opportunity to other kids. Careers in Aviation’s sole purpose
is to assist young people in realizing and achieving aviation
careers and I am privileged to be a part of the organization."
In addition to his role with Careers in Aviation, Larkins
