A Lifetime of Aviation with Chuck Brown - Saturday, October 10th

Join us from 9:00 - 10:00 A.M. to enjoy breakfast (chicken and waffles, thus the event name) and hear stories from the life of Chuck Brown, a respected aviation professional with more than 50 years of experience. He has logged more than 40,000 flight hours and conducted more than 19,000 flight tests as an FAA Designated Pilot Examiner. His distinguished aviation career also includes serving as a Check Airman with Tropic Ocean Airways, flying the islands with Jimmy Buffett, and working with his brother Jon to continue the amazing legacy of Brown’s Seaplane Base in Winter Haven, Florida, one of the most prolific seaplane training centers in the world.

Chuck has long been a passionate advocate for aviation education and youth development, and we're excited to have him serving as Chairman of the Board for the Aerospace Center for Excellence as we continue building a brighter future through aviation.

Come and join us as Chuck shares a lifetime of stories filled with humor and his love for aviation in all its forms.
