The Aerospace Center for Excellence and the SUN \u2018n FUN Aerospace Expo are thrilled to endorse a new, specialty license plate that celebrates general aviation. The specialty plate colorfully highlights airplanes and a helicopter with a beautiful Florida backdrop. The new Florida \u201cSupport General Aviation\u201d specialty license plate is on sale via presale vouchers at each Florida County Tax Collectors Office.
The Aerospace Center for Excellence is especially excited about the release of the license plate, as proceeds from the sales will fund a new scholarship program for training future pilots, air traffic controllers, aircraft mechanics, airport operations, airline and airport management personnel, aeronautical engineers, aviation meteorologists, aircraft and spacecraft manufacturers and other career positions related to aviation. ACE will manage the scholarship program, which will be open to Floridians throughout the state.\u00a0These scholarship opportunities will help sustain the pipeline of aviation professionals.
Gene Conrad, President and CEO of Aerospace Center for Excellence and SUN \u2018n FUN Aerospace Expo, shares, \u201cThe Florida \u2018Support General Aviation\u2019 specialty license plate reflects the rapid growth of general aviation and the support for this critical component of aviation in Florida. We are thrilled to help promote and partner in this effort. We are also ecstatic that the proceeds from the sales will help fund scholarships for the next generation of aerospace professionals. This aligns with the mission of ACE.\u201d
In addition to support from the Aerospace Center for Excellence, the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA), and the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) will promote the specialty license plate via their respective communication channels.
