Club Spotlight: Infinity Aero Club

“Florida non-profit attempts to break glass ceiling by putting more females and minorities in the cockpit”

Infinity Aero Club Tampa Bay (I-ACT) is a non-profit flying club focused on bringing aviation STEM programs to At-Risk Boys & Girls. Our organization is passionate about the value of STEM programs and about putting the right kids in the cockpit of our flight simulators, drones and general aviation aircraft. Our goal is to enable future pilots, mechanics, drone and aerospace engineers.

As most within the aviation community are aware, United Airlines has made a commitment to train five thousand pilots by 2030 with 50% of these pilots being women and minorities. In this vein, Infinity Aero Club is set to help prime this pump by turning the tide of 50+ years of exclusion, with our Tampa Bay, Florida non-profit.

In doing so, we have recurring aviation flight simulator and maintenance events at our simulator lab facility, conveniently located near Tampa International Airport and at our second facility, at Tampa North Aero Park (off I-75) in Wesley Chapel. Visitors also have the opportunity to tour our facilities as our guest.

A special thanks to Gregory Sanderson and Ken Mcelheran, owners of Jetline System Corporation, (www.jetlinesystems.com) for their commitment and sponsorship of the Infinity Aero Club. The club could not have been such a success without their significant support!
