Honoring Veterans Day: How Your Military Service Can Power Your Aviation Career
This Veterans Day, as we honor those who have served our nation, Safety in Motion Flight Center celebrates the remarkable potential of veterans in aviation. Your military service has given you the foundation for an exceptional career in the skies, and we're here to help you make that transition.
From Military Service to Aviation Excellence
Veterans Day reminds us of the incredible skills and dedication our service members bring to every mission. These same qualities – precision, discipline, and unwavering commitment – are exactly what define successful pilots. As a VA-approved Part 141 flight school in the Pacific Northwest, we're proud to have veterans not just as students, but as key members of our instruction team, including our Chief Flight Instructor and many senior staff members.
A Salute to Your Service: GI Bill® Benefits for Flight Training
This Veterans Day, we want to ensure every veteran knows about the opportunities awaiting them in aviation. Your GI Bill® benefits can open the door to an exciting new career. Here's how we make it work:
Post-9/11 GI Bill® benefits cover 100% of approved training costs up to the annual cap
Montgomery GI Bill® and REAP programs provide up to 60% reimbursement
Streamlined monthly certification process
Flexible training schedules that respect your commitments
