Infinity Aero Club Tampa Bay is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit flying club and education center focused on empowering underserved communities and individuals through the transformative power of STEM education, Aviation, and Entrepreneurship (STEMAviA). We aim to lower barriers and costs, making these fields more accessible to those who aspire to reach new heights in the Tampa Bay region and beyond. Our vision and goal is to impact over one million lives globally by 2030 by inspiring and equipping future generations and fostering a diverse and inclusive talent pipeline prepared to lead and innovate in the global aviation and technology sectors.

We are excited to announce our campaign to acquire a new sling aircraft. At Infinity Aero Club, we believe that access to quality education and hands-on training is fundamental to shaping future leaders in the aviation industry. This initiative represents more than just an addition to our fleet; it symbolizes our commitment to enhancing educational opportunities, fostering innovation, and creating a pathway to success for aspiring aviators in the Tampa Bay region and beyond. Together, we can empower young minds to explore their potential in aviation, instilling a passion for innovation and leadership that will shape the future of aerospace technology. Join us as we inspire the next generation of aviation pioneers and prepare them to soar to new heights in their careers.

With only a few aircrafts available, we can accommodate only a fraction of the students and aspiring aviators who wish to participate in our programs. This restricts the number of hands-on flight training sessions, workshops, and educational flights we can offer. Our vision of impacting over one million lives globally by 2030 is severely constrained by the lack of sufficient aircraft. Without adequate resources, we cannot scale our programs to reach a broader audience, both locally and internationally. Expanding the fleet would not only alleviate these constraints but also enable the organization to reach its goal of impacting over one million lives globally by 2030 by inspiring and equipping future generations, fostering a diverse and inclusive talent pipeline prepared to lead and innovate in the global aviation and technology sectors.

Our 2024 goal is to acquire a new fleet plane, specifically an NGK/TAA Sling 2 Aircraft. The acquisition of the NGK/TAA Sling 2 aircraft is projected to have a profound impact on our organization and the communities we serve. By enhancing our training capabilities, we expect to see a higher percentage of our students pursuing careers in aviation, aerospace engineering, and related STEM fields, contributing to a skilled and diverse talent pipeline in the industry. The acquisition of a new aircraft represents a pivotal investment in the future of Infinity Aero Club Tampa Bay and our commitment to empowering individuals through aviation and STEM education. With your support, we can expand our impact, inspire future generations, and foster a more inclusive and innovative aviation community in the Tampa Bay region and beyond!

To acquire and sustain a NGK/TAA Sling 2 aircraft, we have outlined a comprehensive financial plan. The total estimated investment amounts to approximately $260K.
