Day 1️⃣ is in the books 🙌

Due to the TEMPORARY runway closure at Walker County Airport – Bevill Field, all Jasper-based Sanders Flight Training Center aircraft have officially migrated north, south, and west! ✈️

From Hamilton to Tuscaloosa to Huntsville, our team has been hard at work relocating aircraft and preparing operations so training continues without missing a beat. And of course… Joey “GORDO” Sanders had to make the move in style — flying the Stearman up to the ranch and greasing it onto the grass strip like it was 1943.

A huge THANK YOU to our incredible maintenance team, line staff, and flight instructors who gave up their weekend to make this transition happen smoothly. Their dedication to our students and operations is what makes the Sanders Standard different.

Important updates for students:
• All flight courses remain on track, with most programs currently running ahead of schedule. 🕦

We appreciate everyone’s flexibility and support as we continue training the next generation of aviators — no matter which runway we launch from.

From late-night study sessions to flight lessons and checkrides, Shelbi has proven what dedication and determination can accomplish. ✈️🎓

Shelbi is graduating from The University of Alabama with a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering and a minor in Aerospace Engineering — all while completing her Private Pilot and Instrument Rating with Sanders Flight Training Center.

Her journey is just getting started. Shelbi is headed to GE Aerospace in Cincinnati and has also been hired by the Utah Air National Guard, where she will begin serving in about a year.

We are incredibly proud of Shelbi and honored to have been part of her aviation journey. The future of aerospace is bright with leaders like her taking flight.
