“I'm so grateful that I met Mike. Mike has been trying his best for my aviation education and a scholarship for me. He takes time out of his day to help me learn the basics. Mike also takes me to meetings to learn more about people who are experienced with aviation and flying. I am thankful that Mike will help me succeed.”

“I flew for the first time in a small passenger plane with Michael. It was such an amazing experience and I am so thankful to have had that experience. He also taught me a few things about aviation while we were in the air and I can’t say enough good things.”

"Who ever woulda thunk it? Two guys from the neighborhood could be airborne at a moments notice? You never know what hidden skills and talents your friend next door might possess. Thanks for a fun safe flight and tour. Looking forward to your program, it’s just what these young folk need!"

“Aviation was a quiet dream of mine, but it felt out of reach until I connected with Michael Mashack and Bay Area Urban Eagles. Through their support, I attended ground school, went up for a flight, connected with fellow aviators, and began to take tangible steps towards becoming a private pilot. I’m incredibly grateful for their role in helping me take off on this journey!”
