Our Mission: 2nd Annual Craig Angus Memorial Golf 2 Man Scramble, Craig Angus Aviation Foundation September 13, 2025 Adobe Creek National Golf CourseDr. Craig Angus was a well respected member of the Roaring Fork community for 40 years. As a Clinical Psychologist in private practice, Aspen Psychological Services, he devoted most of his time to the numerous families he aided during those years. Outside of work, Craig’s greatest passion was aviation, especially gliding and soaring. He regularly volunteered in local flight school programs where he instilled his passion in the youth that were lucky to have been mentored by him. Craig planned to devote a lot more of his time to students of aviation upon retirement. Unfortunately he passed away suddenly at age 70 in 2022. Our mission is to carry out Craig’s passion and goal by raising funds for low-to-moderate income youth. The costs associated with aviation can be costly and through the fundraising, we wish to give the opportunity to youth to be involved in an aviation program and/or flight school. The opportunity to participate in an aviation program/flight school not only stimulates ones mind but could transcend into future paths by serving in the military or potentially a career in aviation. In order to reach those who would benefit from this program, flyers and literacy about the program will be distributed to the schools in our community. –more–

Guided by IA/A& P Jerry Friedman, HAWK Team Prepares the Cherokee for Inspection Courtesy & Copyright HAWKaviators, Erik Cornelison, PhotographerThis week at HAWK Aviators, our young aviation enthusiasts got hands-on experience with one of our aircrafts, the Piper Cherokee. Under the supervision of Jerry, our very experienced A&P, A/I (and electrical engineer), the kids embarked on the exciting project of starting the annual inspection. They learned the intricacies of aircraft maintenance, from checking the engine’s health to ensuring all electrical systems are in top condition. This real-world experience not only deepens their understanding of aircraft mechanics but also ignites their passion for aviation, all while under the watchful eye of a true professional. Stay tuned for more updates as our young aviators continue in the learning journey.
