Orlando pilot gives students hands-on aviation experience
ORLANDO, Fla. โ Pilot Mike McKenzie feels most at home on the flight line at Orlando Executive Airport. Inspired by the Tuskegee Airmen, McKenzie founded Vision of Flight, a nonprofit, where students as young as 12 who might not normally be exposed to aviation get hands-on experience. Ryan Dewitt is a Vision of Flight mentor and pilot who sees much of his younger self in the youths who come through the program. โI was the kid who always had to go up to the front of the plane to see the pilot,โ Dewitt said. Ethan Smith, a 13-year-old program participant, said he's been enjoying his time at Vision of Flight so far.
