Aviation Education
Education is one of the three cornerstones of the OAA. And Aviation Education is an important part of the value that Oceanside Airport adds to our community. Below are some links and information related to aviation. We hope this information helps you understand more about the industry that our country developed and leads today. We encourage you to learn more about aviation and aviation technologies, and either consider them as a career or just getting involved in general aviation. It can all start here, at your Community Airport...

Learn To Fly and Reach the Sky
Flying in the control seat of a small general aviation aircraft or piloting an airplane yourself has been a life changing event for many youths and adults. Piloting is not as difficult and is much safer than you may think. And if you don't have the resources, there are pilots who will donate their time and aircraft to help you experience flight first-hand. This section lists some national and local aviation programs that you, your family members and your friends can become involved in. If you are a pilot, we encourage you to become involved and donate your time to volunteer for one these programs. If you are not a pilot, please keep in mind that the OAA accepts membership from pilots and non-pilots alike! Thinking about joining? Click on the Join link to the left side of your screen.
