A new facility for the Central Florida Aerospace Academy (CFAA) opened officially with a ribbon-cutting ceremony during the Sun ‘n Fun fly-in and expo across the street from the Florida Air Museum (FAM) at the Lakeland Linder Airport. The 58,000-square-foot building is capable of supporting up to 500 high school students and was made possible by a $7.5 million grant from the Naples-based Aviation Education Foundation.
“I hope this building serves as a launching pad for CFAA students to become more actively involved in aviation and, in doing so, build a pathway for successful careers and successful lives,” says Aviation Education Foundation founder James C. Ray.
