High-school students from around the island received a flight line tour this week as part of the Ka Ho\u2018okele \u201cThe Navigator\u201d Explorers Program. Fighter, tanker and airlift pilots and aircrew members hosted static displays of JBPH-H\u2019s heavy aircraft, the KC-135 Stratotanker and the C-17 Globemaster III. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The annual mentorship program provides hands-on learning about aspects of the aviation industry. Each week, students get the opportunity to learn about different career paths they can pursue, such as aircraft maintenance, avionics, sheet-metal, air-traffic control, piloting and virtually every aspect of the commercial airline industry. The course is crafted to provide students with career opportunities, leadership experience, life skills, character education and a means to give back to their community. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The result is a program of real-world aviation-centric career experiences that help youth grow, develop and make a decision on whether they are a fit for a career in aviation. The explorers program is hosted by a locally-based airline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
