Project Cub

Grand Prairie, TX
2019 – 2021

The Pino Foundation donated funds to the Commemorative Air Force (CAF) in 2019 to purchase a 1946 Piper Cub aircraft. Aviation pathway students from Dubiski Career High School and the Young Women’s Leadership Academy in Grand Prairie have worked to restore the vintage aircraft during their school-year internships at the CAF. During the past 3 years, 50 high school students have been involved in the ongoing restoration of the aircraft.
(One of these students has already received his A&P license, and several went on to study aerospace or mechanical engineering. At least 3 have earned private pilot’s license.)
