Owen awarded aviation scholarship

The Boyceville Hangar Owner and Pilot Association awarded an aviation scholarship to Casey Owen of Boyceville for his accomplishments in aviation.  Casey, a sophomore at Boyceville High School is the son of Jack and Kelly Owen.

At this time he is pursuing his private pilot license and recently flew his first solo flight at Gibson Aviation in Menomonie.  Casey has worked hard to accomplish his goals, completing ground school, beginning his flight training, and completing his solo flight.  He has accomplished so much in a short period of time.

As an organization the Boyceville Hangar Owner and Pilot Association is dedicated to the advancement of general aviation and education. Our goals are to help educate young people in our community that have an interest in the aviation industry. The scholarship is funded through activities such as the annual pancake breakfast held at the airport during Boyceville’s Cucumber fest, donations and other fund raising events.

The Association is proud of Casey’s accomplishments in Aviation and his community, we wish Casey the best of luck as he continues with his pilot training and his activities with the Civil Air Patrol.
