East Islip High School’s Technology Education and Career Exploration classes embarked on a field trip to Long Island MacArthur Airport - a collaborative partnership between the airport, the Cradle of Aviation Museum, and the Town of Islip, which aimed to empower local youth to discover the diverse career paths available in aviation and airport operations.

The Cradle of Aviation Museum welcomed Colonel Kim "KC" Campbell on Thursday, March 13, for an unforgettable evening as she shared her compelling journey in Flying in the Face of Fear. Throughout the evening, Campbell offered invaluable insights into embracing risk, fostering a wingman culture, and confidently navigating uncertainty. Her battle-tested strategies provided a roadmap for overcoming fear and balancing adversity.

The Cradle of Aviation Museum hosted its Inaugural Legislative Breakfast, bringing together leaders from local government, business, and community organizations. United by a shared commitment to advancing aerospace education and workforce development, their participation underscored the importance of collaboration in shaping the future of our region.
