Rising senior Sam Maxwell has been awarded a $10,000 scholarship for flight training by the AOPA Foundation. Every year, AOPA selects eighty high school students across the country in a highly competitive application process. Landmark Aviation Academy Instructor Dr. Jim Lee submitted a personal recommendation for Sam and said, "There is no doubt in my mind that Sam will earn his Private Pilot Certificate by the time he graduates from Landmark. Sam came to class every single day to learn, and his passion for aviation was as clear as a day with 50 miles visibility." In 2019, Landmark students Seiler Rivers and Max Lyles were AOPA award recipients. Sam would like to follow in his father's footsteps and become a professional airline pilot for Delta Air Lines.
