"Justin's life was short but fruitful. It wasn't until after he passed that I realized that he was so encouraging and impactful to so many people who came across his path. I want to continue his legacy of love and help other young people who share passion for flying to pursue their dreams as well," said Justin's mother, Laura Swaggerty.
Justin Swaggerty was born on July 27, 1999 and passed away on June 6, 2020. He truly enjoyed flying and sharing his passion for flight with with others.
Despite many obstacles, including being raised without the presence and support of a father, Justin believed in going for his dreams and encouraging others to do the same.
There is a shortage of pilots and it is a rewarding career, but many young people might think it's out of their reach. JSAF would like to honor Justin by encouraging other young people to follow their dreams of becoming a pilot.
