For participating youth and their accompanying adults, the organizers promise a meet-and-greet with pilots and insight into aviation careers. Electronic flight simulators and some aircraft for static tours will be available for those who prefer to stay on the ground. After issuing a raincheck to about 125 youngsters, the First Flight team held a more successful, fair weather-favored flight day in mid-June 2024. Statesboro native Dr. Tom Williams, right, gives a tour of his Mooney Executive M20F during last year's "Thrill of The First Flight" event at the Statesboro-Bulloch County Airport in June 2024. Besides food tokens, each child or teen who participates will receive a flight wristband, an event T-shirt and a youth flight certificate, according to the website.
