Another Maui outreach accomplished visiting 3 high school bands across the island from April 30-May 1, 2026. Thank you to band, and for allowing us to collab with you and your students. We had a great time working with you all and we hope to see you again soon.

Also, a big shout out and a warm mahalo to our B211 Aviators, pilots and crew members for such a superb ride from/to Oahu and Maui and to our wonderful recruiters from SFC Rodarte and SSG Maguddayao for supporting our outreach with the high school students.
