First 5 students receive BGS courses from PPRuNe
Scroggs, Capt. Elton and myself completed our interviews with the five students we chose for selection yesterday. Four of them will now proceed to the GAPAN aptitude tests at RAF Cranwell on February 17th. They will then receive one of five BGS courses very generously donated to PPRuNe.
This happened on the same day that Astraeus selected the four cadets for training during the next six months! It wasn't planned but it makes for a marvellous occasion.
A truly great day for PPRuNe, Astraeus and the PPRuNe Fund - also for me personally, and how I always imagined it would be. Giving wannabes a chance to enter the world of the Professional Pilots.
The fund is also going to donate to GAPAN's PPL scholarships this year. This association will bring PPRuNe and GAPAN closer to-gether - something I know Danny is very pleased about.
The fund will gradually build again now and I am certain more opportunities will arise when we can help more of our wannabes.
