Flight suit worn by Trayvon Martin at Experience Aviation
Inspired by his uncle Ronnie, Trayvon Martin aspired to work in the aviation field. He wore this flight suit when he attended Experience Aviation in his early teens. According to his father, Tracy Martin, "It was a badge of honor for the students to have the flight suit with the patches on it. It was part of their uniform for the program. He loved it. He loved it." Tracy also recalled being impressed by watching Trayvon practice taking off and landing a plane using a flight simulator. Experience Aviation, Inc. is a non-profit organization in Opa-locka, Florida, that provides project-based education in aviation and related STEM fields. Trayvon attended a seven-week program in 2009 and later served as a volunteer. After Experience Aviation, he began taking high school classes at George T. Baker Aviation Technical College.
