Exciting, intense, non-stop action is what you'll get when the Godspeed Flight Demonstration Team flies into your school. The Godspeed Team of talented R/C pilots will thrill your kids with acrobatic airplanes, high-speed racing jets, and helicopters right in the school gymnasium. In addition to the aerial demonstration, the children are taught basic lessons in aerodynamics on a level they can understand. Then, the marvel of flight is brought to life through the compelling story of the Wright Brothers and their childhood dream of flying. This story will inspire vision, perseverance and imagination in every child. We think this is the best K-6 School assembly program available.
The word Godspeed means "Successful Journey" The Team wants all children to know that education is the key to maximizing their talents and abilities. This life changing presentation will teach them how their education and talents can benefit them through life, giving them purpose and a sense of destiny, motivating them to never stop believing in themselves. Taking them on a Successful Journey.
Air Shows
In addition to our K-6 School Assembly Program, Godspeed has an outdoor air show program. Air shows are the fastest growing outdoor activities in America, attracting people from all ages and all walks of life. Over 20 million fans attend approximately 450 air shows each year, that is twice as many fans that attend Auto Racing or NFL football. You can see how this incredible medium has far reaching potential. As an outdoor activity the Team actually performs using a state of the art radio control jet airplane exceeding speeds of 200mph. Spectators our overwhelmed by the captivating sight and sound of a turbine powered model jet.
Special Events
In addition to our K-6 School Assembly program, we are set up to mobilize our wide range of aircraft enabling us to operate out of very little space. Trade shows, fairs, church or corporate picnics as well as school carnivals both indoor and outdoor activities.

Staff and Bio
Dennis was born and raised in Dayton, Ohio also known as the birthplace of aviation. That is where the Wright Brothers started building the first airplane back in 1900. Aviation and airplanes have always been apart of my life," He admits". I became interested in model airplanes when I was a small boy, watching my father building and flying his models. As I grew older I became interested in R/C (radio control). I got my first R/C airplane at age 14. When I turned 17, I began flying real airplanes (full scale). I received my Pilots license at 19.
Dennis's love for model aviation grew stronger as he got older, and, as the airplanes increased in size and complexity. Dennis's skills for building and maintaining his aircraft earned him a reputation for excellence in building and flying his models. As his popularity increased in his local area so did the demand for his ability as a flight instructor. I have always enjoyed teaching people to fly R/C, I just have a knack for helping people and communicating the art of flying in an easy and effective style. I have trained kids as young as 5 years old and adults as old as 80. It's just a passion for me, I love it!
Vision
From the beginning our vision was to take the Team on the road, and now as the demand for Godspeed K-6 School assembly program is increasing, so is our demand for a larger transport vehicle. This page is dedicated to our vision for a mobile marketing transport facility. This concept vehicle is designed for the long haul and from a marketing stand point, showcases our organization by communicating an exciting and positive atmosphere. In addition to the marketing potential, the trailer will enable us to efficiently transport the Team and our vast array of equipment and airplanes across the country. This rolling mobile showcase is equipped with an onboard generator able to power our sound system, video screens and lighting equipment for night time demonstrations.
To make this dream a reality, we need your help to raise the $100,000 to purchase this vehicle. Would you please consider Joining the Team by partnering with us by placing a donation towards this vehicle. With your tax deductible contribution, we can see this dream come true, together..
