Huge appreciation for @FedEx this week as they not only brought in a 757 for everyone to tour, and staged a few fly-bys, they mentored aspiring pilots on their careers, launched their pathways program in association with @MountainAirCargo and #EmpireAirlines, and hosted the Friday Night Event. Thank you, FedEx! #SAFECON2018 #NIFA

The Loening Trophy, sponsored by @Delta Air Lines, was first awarded in 1929. Grover Loening wanted to encourage excellence in collegiate aviation. The Loening Trophy is presented to the team who, during the last year, has displayed outstanding competition performance, air safety, and active participation in aviation in their local community. #SAFECON2018 #NIFA
