SF Bay Area Aviation Resources
(With highlights of local Tri-Valley resources)
The San Francisco Bay Area is home to a wide variety of resources within the Aviation & Aerospace industries. We list a few of them to help orient a fledgling pilot, a college bound engineering student or someone else looking to get started in these career fields.
We do not endorse any of the businesses or organizations listed. We provide these links only as a research and education tool for those interested in aviation or aerospace. We hope you'll consider a career in one of these fields.
Note that this Explorer Post is coed and is for anyone age 14-20 who wants to learn more about aviation & aerospace careers. But, we are making an extra effort to get more women & minorities involved. We don't think of them as an afterthought, so we list resources for them at the top!
