Aviation Organizations
Networking is an important tool in both researching job openings and learning more about specific types of pilot career fields. We are fortunate to have many groups here in Minnesota that promote aviation, and provide aspiring professional pilots with the opportunity to meet those individuals who have pursued and achieved a successful aviation career.

Kelly Bankole, Aviation Program Coordinator recommends that you take a look at these web sites - there may be an organization that interests you, and would provide you with additional learning opportunities and professional contacts in the aviation career field.

Here are just a few of these organizations:

Experimental Aircraft Association, Chapter 54
