ROCKY MOUNTAIN AERO GROUP
INSPIRING THE NEXT GENERATION OF AVIATORS
The Rocky Mountain Aero Group is building a new pathway for students in the Roaring Fork Valley to discover careers in aviation, aerospace, and STEM.
Through mentorship, hands-on learning, airport experiences, and industry exposure, students gain real insight into the world of aviation while developing the confidence and skills needed to pursue future opportunities.
In collaboration with the Aspen Flight Academy, the club serves as a regional umbrella for youth aviation programs. It connects students with initiatives such as Aviation Explorer Post 777 (Scouting America - Aviation Exploring) and the EAA Young Eagles Club 1634, creating accessible pathways for students from middle school through high school to explore aviation.
From airport tours and guest speakers to STEM workshops and mentorship, the Rocky Mountain Aviation & Aerospace Club helps students turn curiosity into direction and inspiration into opportunity.
