\u201cWe proudly attended alongside fifteen of Envoy\u2019s Cadet Program partner schools to cheer them on and educate prospective candidates,\u201d said Envoy Pilot Recruiter Maria Jodoin<\/strong>. \u201cAs a licensed pilot, I really enjoyed meeting fellow aviation enthusiasts and witnessing their palpable enthusiasm for the industry.\u201d<\/p>\n During the competition, recruiters connected with some of the competition\u2019s extraordinary attendees, including Tatiana Beach<\/strong>, Envoy Cadet and Southeastern Oklahoma State University (SOSU) Aviation student. Tatiana is currently working toward becoming a professional airline pilot and will be a senior this upcoming fall. She is the first pilot in her family, and dreams of flying international routes one day and learning about other cultures.<\/p>\n As a seasoned NIFA competitor, Tatiana held many roles on her flight team including Co-Captain, Navigation Safety Pilot, Message Drop Pilot, Dropmaster, Computer Accuracy (E6B) participant, and Aircraft Recognition participant. She and her team worked tenaciously to prepare for each regional competition by practicing on weekends and eventually earning their way to nationals.<\/p>\n Tatiana and the SOSU flight team\u2019s passion for aviation shone through their hard work and dedication throughout the week as they competed in each event.<\/p>\n \u201cI always love meeting other schools and getting to see friends that I made the previous year,\u201d said Tatiana. \u201cIt’s always fun to see how other flight programs work and hear about flying in a different part of the country. The actual competition is always a blast, too.\u201d<\/p>\n Congratulations to each team that completed NIFA\u2019s 2023 competition! We look forward to next year!<\/p>\n Click here to view the gallery of photos from 2023 NIFA SAFECON.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\nOh, the places you\u2019ll go<\/strong><\/h3>\n
