DELTA DREAM FLIGHT
| The 70 students age 14 through 18 who participate in one of the three Atlanta camps (ACE Camp 1 & 2 and Flight Line), are given the opportunity to fly aboard a Delta Air Lines jet called, the Delta “Dream Flight.” Other local aviation camps such as EAA's Young Eagles, Civil Air Patrol, NBCFAE ACE Camp, Aviation Career Enrichment, Atlanta Public Schools, etc also participate. Delta Air Lines donates one of its jets (B757-200) to OBAP for this event as well as 2 flight crews and Flight Attendants amongst other operational necessities. In the past the Delta “Dream Flight” has flown to Washington D.C. to visit the Smithsonian: National Air and Space Museum and The Steven Udvar-Hazy Center. In 2007, the camp participants flew to the Wright Patterson Air Force Base Museum; National Museum of the United States Air Force in Dayton, OH. In 2008, the Delta “Dream Flight” destination was The NASA Johnson Space Center in Houston, TX. Limited seats may be available for members of the media to fly on the “Delta Dream Flight” this year. Discussions between OBAP and Delta Airlines for the 2009 “Dream Flight” are under way at this time. Please periodically check the OBAP website for updates. |
