For the first time since the inception of the GYFTS scholarship, a young Territory pilot at the Top End Flying Club has been awarded one of the annual scholarships. Karl Staben who has not only been learning to fly at the Top End Flying Club is also often seen helping out around the club at working bees and is a very deserving recipient of this scholarship.

The 'Giving Young People Flight Training Support' [GYFTS] fund was launched at NATFLY 2008. The intention is to provide scholarships to deserving and capable young flyers that enable them to continue their flight training http://www.raa.asn.au/students/gyfts.html.

Congratulations to Karl and to Phil. Young student pilots are our future and instructors and chief flying instructors nurture that future.
