The crew of the Remembrance Goodwill Tour are students at Guilford Technical Community College

Since all of the crew are aviation students, each has set goals in the aviation field. Each crew member is a participant in the school's aerospace club, as well as elected officers to the start-up chapter of Alpha Eta Rho, an aviation fraternity. The knowledge obtained through the completion of the tour will not only be valuable to the general public, but also to the crew members. Each crew member will have an extensive understanding of the original Goodwill tour, such as events of the tour and background information. In addition, Donald Keyhoe's book, "Flying with Lindbergh" will be read by each member. The first-hand accounts from Donald Keyhoe will be invaluable information the crew will use while on the trip. Also, there will be an understanding of the Wright Brothers and events leading up to Lindbergh's transatlantic crossing. Our group is currently applying to become a non-profit organization under the 501 c(3) guidelines.
