  • In Episode 5 of the Bravo Lima Podcast, join us in introducing Joshua, the recipient of the 2023 Fly Right Scholarship, and listen in as we look back into a year punctuated by noteworthy accomplishments!

    What happened in 2023:

    🎉 We opened our second location in Winter Haven, Florida!

    🎉 We began accepting Piper Archers from our order of 55 aircraft, with the option to add 60 more over the next four years!

    🎉 We set multiple new records, such as the PSEL-MEI record, achieved in 4 months and 8 days, and the IFR-MEI record in an impressive 3 months and 16 days!

    We set new records in every category:

    📈 Flights Flown: ⬆️ 77%

    📈 Flight Hours Flown: ⬆️ 83%

    📈 Checkrides Passed: ⬆️ 109%

    📈 Number of CPP Graduates: ⬆️ 117%

    What is the Fly Right Scholarship?

    Our annual Fly Right Scholarship is dedicated to supporting 2024 Johnston County, NC and Polk County, FL public high school graduates in pursuing their aviation dreams.

    The scholarship recognizes two individuals with outstanding personal ethics, character, and a commitment to positive community contributions, as nominated by teachers and peers. The top two applicants, one from Johnston County, NC and one from Polk County, FL, will be awarded the $100,000 scholarship for use at Blue Line Aviation, while additional recipients will receive substantial tuition reductions for the Career Pilot Program.

    Eligible candidates must obtain a 1st class FAA Medical, be proficient in English, and be 18 years old by 7/1/2023. Factors such as race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender, religion, nationality, and socioeconomic status will not be considered.
