Dreams are taking flight with Make-A-Wish America at ! ✈️ 💫

Meet Vail Fear, a 13-year-old aspiring pilot from Park Ridge, Illinois, whose Make-A-Wish experience became something truly special thanks to WMU Aviation.

Vail, who was born with chronic kidney disease and PAX2-related disorder, wished for a home flight simulator and got something even better: an immersive tour of Western's world-class training facilities at Battle Creek Executive Airport.

Guided by Western's aviation experts, he spent the day exploring hangars, learning how to do a pre-flight check in a WMU airplane and doing barrel rolls in the University's state-of-the-art flight simulator.

For Vail, it’s not even a question now what his aviation future looks like.

“I’m definitely coming here when I grow up,” he said. To read more about how the aspiring aviator’s dreams took flight, visit https://bit.ly/42H2jOo

WMU Aviation and WMAA have announced a new pathway partnership designed to help prepare the next generation of aviation professionals amid sustained industry demand for qualified pilots!

The WMU-WMAA Pathway Program will provide guaranteed admission opportunities for qualified WMAA students who have a direct route into WMU’s aviation flight science program, helping strengthen Michigan’s aviation workforce pipeline while creating expanded opportunities for students pursuing aviation careers.

“The aviation industry needs highly trained pilots and aviation professionals, and this partnership reflects a shared commitment to helping meet that demand while expanding opportunity for students who are passionate about flight and already building valuable aviation experience before entering college,” said WMU President Russ Kavalhuna, an alumnus of the University’s College of Aviation and a former commercial airline captain.
