ProJet Aviation of Winchester, Virginia, the Aircraft Owners & Pilots Association (AOPA), and corporate sponsor, FlightSafety International, announced today that the 4th Annual "Aviation Education Expo" has been awarded a grant from the Alfred L. and Constance C. Wolf Fund. The 2009 Aviation Education Expo is scheduled for October 13th at the Winchester Regional Airport.

Wolf Aviation Grants were established to provide funding for the most promising individuals and the most worthy projects that advance the field of general aviation. The Aviation Education Expo was created in 2005 to inspire young adults, ages 16-20 by showcasing a wide variety of aviation and aerospace career opportunities. Students attending the Expo interact with aviation professionals through booth exhibits, displays, simulators, and guest-speaker forums. ProJet Aviation will host the 4th annual Expo on October 13, 2009 at its Corporate Aviation Facility located at Winchester Regional Airport.

"This is an honor and a privilege" said Julie O'Brien, Director of Marketing for ProJet Aviation. "This event plants the seed of opportunity that has such a positive impact on the attendees, and on our industry." Participants at the Expo have the opportunity to interact with vendors representing diverse and exciting aviation and aerospace careers including emergency medical airlift; law enforcement; aircraft maintenance and avionics repair; and U.S. military and national security assignments.

"We rely completely on corporate funds and donations to make this day happen," explains ProJet's CEO Shye Gilad. "In tough economic times it is especially important for individuals and corporations to invest in America's future, and we are very grateful to have the support of the Alfred L. and Constance C. Wolf Fund Grant."

Grants such as the Wolf Aviation Fund help ProJet and co-sponsors AOPA and FlightSafety reach their goal of expanding the Expo to include as many students and aviation professionals as possible.
