Special Notice

JFA 2022 has the confirmed green light. Emails are going out to slotted students on 4/25/2022

JFA 2021 Power Class

JFA had to reduce the number of students that were accepted in 2021. Despite all of the challenges of running a flight academy during a pandemic, these powered cadets performed outstanding. JFA also ran a balloon section in 2021.

2022 plans are for a full return of all 3 flight sections, power, glider and balloon. JFA 2022 is planned for two weeks.

Glider Solo

Cadets who are attending their second glider academy and have completed a minimum of 30 flights are eligible to solo. Providing they meet all other FAA requirements.

Balloons at JFA

JFA is the only National Cadet Special Activity to offer a balloon program. Weather permitting the cadets will complete free flights and multiple tethered flights during the academy.
