Key Takeaways:

  • Millennial Wings is an organization founded by Timothy Fonseca for aviation enthusiasts aged 18-29, aimed at building a community and fostering a younger culture around flying.
  • The group addresses the aging pilot demographic by providing networking opportunities and hosting monthly fly-in events with activities like camping, bonfires, and flying contests.
  • Operating through social media (especially Instagram), Millennial Wings currently has chapters in Florida and Georgia, with plans for expansion to other states, and about 60 members who pay annual dues for event benefits.

This isn’t your father’s flying club. In fact, if you’re part of the typical pilot age demographic, it’s more likely a place where your son or daughter — or maybe even grandchild — would fit right in.
