The Bay Area Black Pilot Association (BABPA) promotes aviation. Our members include non-pilots to airline pilots. We know that in addition to the fun of being a pilot, the aviation industry provides many career opportunities. Much of our attention is focused on getting young people into in careers as pilots, mechanics, air traffic controller, managers, and other careers in the aviation industry. We spread this message by visiting local schools, churches, social events, our airport open house, partnering with other aviation organizations andworking with youth organizations. Our doors are open to anyone who shares our vision. |
