Sunshine, Rain, Wind, Snow, Repeat?

Sounds like the worst cycle ever—which we in the Midwest just lived through—it was! Summer is upon us, nonetheless, and we are excited to be back again for another edition of On The Fly. The hustle of the marketing committee has continued since our last update! We have several newsworthy announcements that we are excited to share! One of the biggest is finalizing our new handle on Instagram! Please go show us love @weareNGPA, and don’t forget to continue using #iamNGPA! Furthermore, we also released version 5.0 of the NGPA Marketing & Branding Guide.





NGPA Family,

Spring is officially here! As for my family, we spend as much time as possible outdoors, taking in the sunshine & cool breezes. It’s one of my favorite seasons for so many reasons, but above all, what I enjoy most about spring is that it marks the beginning of comradery with friends and family for no particular occasion or implied pretense. This spring, we’re excited to reconnect during several upcoming events.



We look forward to welcoming you to our second annual summer event. An event celebrating our general aviation community along with current and aspiring industry professionals, NGPA returns to Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, this June. Join us June 16-18 for a weekend filled with social events, a fly-in, and local pride celebration festivities. View a full schedule of events, lodging link, and registration by clicking here!




Howdy, NGPA Family!

NGPA Australia was honored to have been invited to the inaugural Women in Aviation Open Day presented by the Queensland Air Museum. The museum, which is entirely run by volunteers, has been dedicated to preserving Australia's aviation heritage for over 80 years, with a collection of more than 80 historic military and civilian aircraft located at Caloundra Aerodrome on the Sunshine Coast, the traditional home of the Kabi Kabi people.
