A new aviation center formed as a 501 c 8 charity seeks to boost safety and flight instruction in western Kansas. Spokesperson Kira Everhart Valentin notes early pledges reached 100000 with a 108000 grant from KDOT and over 300000 in private gifts aided by 179000 in tax credits. The SFEC, about 30 volunteers, plans a Redbird FMX simulator to be funded by separate fees, serving communities where few flight schools exist.
