Trinity Aviation Academy

★★★★★ 5 out of 5 2 years ago

Whenever I come here, I find myself drawn to prayer, reading the Bible, and to worship! Although I have never been a full-time student, this place has been a stepping stone for me to discern God's calling for me, and I am grateful especially to Dan Mulkey and Dan Phillips for the conversations we've had, the times of prayer we've shared, and for their encouragement in my following the Lord's leading in my life. I know that God will use Trinity to help many others as they seek to build a foundation from which they can more effectively "go and make disciples of all nations..." Although I personally am not called to mission aviation specifically, Trinity has specifically increased my effectiveness in doing missions because it was at Trinity that the Lord's voice and direction for missions became clear to me (in my case: rekindling my calling to missions work and leading me to pursue this calling in Massachusetts).

Trinity aviation is not for those looking for something to do while trying to decide what to do with their lives. You are expected to act as an adult and the workload is real. You may not get to do what you want when you want but in time, they give you all the training you need to become a top notch aircraft mechanic. Back in September I took a position as an A&P at a repair shop/flight school. On top of customer aircraft we maintain 14 school aircraft. We do a minimum of two 100 hour/annual inspections a week on top of any other maintenance required for the fleet and customers aircraft. I have found that the standards taught to us at Trinity aviation far exceed the standards I have encountered in for profit aviation, so far. The skills I have exceeded their expectations for a young A&P. I want to thank Dan, Steve, Bab, Tad and Andy for a quality education. The type of flying we had access to in my years at Trinity made me a bold and flexible pilot. The mechanical instruction was top notch. We were held to a very high standard. When I first arrived at Trinity I thought I could run things better if given the chance. Looking back, that was the stupidity of youth. I know from time to time students come with expectations of Trinity that are not met. It's not the collage experience, summer camp or a gap year program. It's a place where you work hard, learn a lot of information in a short time and meet Christian students that don't see eye to eye with you on every biblical passage. It's a big life step to attend and I wouldn't be who I am today without it. Trinity has room to grow, and so do the students who attend. Trinity will always be a special place to me. Me and my wife (who I met while at Trinity) are continuing in ministry in the US while I build up my mechanical experience and flight time. I feel very prepared for the aviation mission field and I have Trinity to thank for that.

A well ran, Christian Aviation Academy that supports its students and is well rooted in the community. Dan Phillips does an amazing job for this organization. He has continued to upgrade the facilities and gain more support from the community and national organizations. Keep up the great work!

A number of years ago while attending EAA AIR VENTURE in Oshkosh, WI. I was told about a Christian Aviation Academy in a small Rural Town in Washington State. The collaboration of 2 Families with a common vision of bringing God’s Word, to those without it, through Training Pilots/Mechanics for missionary Aviation. A grass roots organization centered in the love of Aviation and God. A vision of this sort requires untold of hours of work in areas of the Property/ Facilities development, Equipment, etc So much of which is through the generosity of volunteers. Seeing the growth and transformation over the last 7-8 years is truly a testament to Gods grace and his promises. God works on all levels and has use for each and every one of us if we follow his Will in our lives. TAA shows us just one example of following a God inspired Vision and of course Faith. Trinity is truly a Blessing !!!!!!!!

God fearing men and women volunteer their time to teach and prepare students for the missionary field. Their dedication to God's word is beyond reproach. They are completely transparent in theirs lives, their finances and their mission. I would trust them ckmple4 with anyy family member.
