Aviation First Steps

Students at Mid-Columbia Partnership learn airplane marshaling signals.

A huge thank‑you to the 40 amazing students who joined us at Mid-Columbia Partnership in Kennewick for an action‑packed aviation careers workshop! These young learners explored the many paths that keep our skies moving—and they didn’t just hear about the jobs, they tried them out.

  • They practiced chair flying and learned how pilots prepare for flight.
  • They became ground marshallers, guiding an airplane safely to parking.
  • They copied Air Traffic Control on the radio, just like real pilots do.
  • And they raced through a baggage handler relay, getting every bag to the right gate.

The energy, teamwork, and curiosity these students brought to each activity were inspiring. Mid‑Columbia Partnership families—your kids showed incredible focus and enthusiasm. The future of aviation is looking bright!
