Envoy and AirlineGeeks partnered to offer aviation enthusiasts a unique opportunity to celebrate National Aviation Day. Twelve lucky contest winners from across the country were selected to experience Envoy’s Embraer full-motion simulators at Avenger Flight Group.
The event showcased Envoy’s recent investment in two new Embraer 175/170 full-motion simulators. Participants had the chance to take the controls under the guidance of Envoy pilots.
In addition to simulator time, attendees toured the Avenger Flight Group facility and received career advice from some of the airline’s team members.
“One of our top priorities is investing in training tools for our pilots,” said Envoy Check Airman Captain Dennis Long. “Offering this experience to passionate aviation enthusiasts on National Aviation Day was a perfect way to showcase our commitment to the future of flight.”
Participants were selected from a social media contest that received hundreds of entries. Aviation enthusiasts from as far as Arizona and California traveled to Irving, Texas for the event.
National Aviation Day was established by President Franklin Delano Roosevelt in 1939. The holiday recognizes Orville Wright’s birthday while also celebrating the various achievements of aviation pioneers throughout history.
