✈️ FunkyPilot Academy Now Featured in AviNation Magazine

We’re excited to share that FunkyPilot Academy has officially joined forces with AviNation magazine—a publication that, like us, is on a mission to inspire the next generation of aviators.

Starting with the Spring issue published in April, every issue of AviNation will include a dedicated FunkyPilot Short comic strip. While this is a big milestone for our team, it’s not just about exposure—it’s about alignment. We deeply admire what AviNation has built over the years: a thoughtful, consistent resource that shows young people there is a real, achievable path into aviation.

For those unfamiliar, AviNation is a quarterly magazine based in the U.S. that focuses on aviation education and career development for students. It’s packed with real stories from young aviators, insights into aviation programs, industry news, and updates on scholarships and training pathways. They don’t just talk about flying—they showcase the humans behind the yoke, especially those just starting their journey.

At FunkyPilot Academy, we approach education through a different lens—comics. We tell fictional stories of Captain Jack and a group of neighborhood kids as they explore flight together. Our goal has always been to blend aviation fundamentals with humor, emotion, and storytelling. If AviNation tells the truth of aviation from the ground level, we try to spark curiosity before that first step is taken.

That’s what makes this collaboration so meaningful. The AviNation team believes in storytelling, just like we do—but they bring the reality of aviation careers to life through journalism. We aim to meet the same audience earlier, nudging young readers toward the skies through characters and situations they can laugh with and learn from.

We believe aviation needs many doors—not just flight simulators and textbooks, but also comics, conversations, and community. Partnering with AviNation allows us to widen that door together.

As a small thank-you to our readers, we’ll be including a free, latest copy of AviNation magazine with every FunkyPilot Academy comic book order—while our supply lasts. If you’ve been following FunkyPilot for a while, you’ll find this magazine to be a great companion piece: less silly, more real, but just as inspiring.

We’re grateful to the AviNation editorial team for seeing value in what we do, and for letting our stories sit alongside theirs. Together, we hope to reach the kid who dreams of flying but isn’t sure where to begin—and show them that yes, this sky was made for you.

Even as a professional pilot cruising at 40,000 feet and Mach 0.88 in a business jet, I still find inspiration in the pages of AviNation. It’s not just for students—it’s a reminder of why many of us started flying in the first place. Between missions or once settled in cruise flight, I read my personal copy in the cockpit, and it’s refreshing to see how today’s young aviators are taking flight through real stories, innovative programs, and fresh ambition. Whether you’re just starting out or already at the controls, AviNation has something for every stage of the journey.
