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
