Three MGA aviation students, Bella Budd, Mia Pena, and Ava Clark, recently participated in a unique aviation experience at the Beechcraft Heritage Museum during Beech Party. Accompanied by MGA Trustee and Alum Corie Greenblatt and her husband Michael, the students explored the history and legacy of Beechcraft while enjoying flights in several iconic aircraft, including a V-tailed Bonanza, Staggerwing, and Beech 18.

The students toured museum exhibits, viewed the distinctive Beechcraft Starship, and learned about the company's innovations and lasting impact on aviation. They were especially inspired by the story of Olive Ann Beech, whose leadership helped shape one of aviation's most influential companies.

Throughout the event, Bella, Ava, and Mia represented MGA with professionalism and enthusiasm, making a positive impression while showcasing the quality of education and opportunities available through the School of Aviation. Their participation highlighted both the value of experiential learning and the bright future of the next generation of aviation professionals.
