Save the date! Since 2016, Epic Flight Academy has been hosting an annual fishing tournament to support its annual aviation scholarship awards. In 2019, the theme is “Red Tails for Red Tails” – a nod to the Epic fleet’s distinctive red tails, and the world-famous redfish found in nearby Mosquito Lagoon. Following the tournament, we’ll celebrate over dinner and award prizes. This is a catch-and-release tournament for the longest redfish! Limited to the first 50 boats to register!
Participants are also invited to attend the 4th Annual Epic Flight Academy Aviation Awards event on Saturday, October 26th where we will award a full $20,000 scholarship to a high school senior toward a Private Pilot License and a partial $5,000 scholarship to a high school senior for flight training. We invite corporate sponsors to support this initiative and join us for a day of fishing! We attract top students and hope you can join us!
