What People Are Saying
“Attending AYAF 2019 was the best decision of my life so far. The friendships I made are the strongest I have, and the worst part of the camp was saying goodbye to my fellow peers. This camp positively impacted my understanding of aviation and aerospace as I learnt so much information that I didn’t know prior to the forum. After high school, I plan on attending ADFA and whilst being there, study aviation to become a pilot. This program has helped my decision to go through with this option very clear.”

“AYAF is an amazing experience that anyone should do – even if you aren’t a major aerospace fan (it will definitely make you one). From fun and engaging interactive activities, such as balsa wood gliders
and model rockets, to networking with industry, AYAF links you with like-minded people from across the country (and gets you within 200m of F-22 Raptors). If you aren’t at AYAF, where are you?”
