"Experience Aviation allowed me to have a deeper understanding of aviation sciences and taught me the basic fundamentals of Aeronautics.  I’m currently flying the MQ-9 Reaper as a pilot in the US Air Force." "Experience Aviation played an intricate part in me becoming the student and the person I am today.  Through a rigorous yet enjoyable curriculum I was introduced to the many possibilities a career in STEM has to offer.  I am currently pursuing a Bachelor of Science at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, working to obtain my degree in Aviation Maintenance Science with a Focus in Management." "Experience Aviation has helped me to realize my passion for aviation and air transportation. This has led me to pursue a career as a Naval Aviator." Welcome to Experience Aviation Experience Aviation is a 501-C3 non-profit organization based at Opa-Locka Executive Airport that utilizes Aviation to build STEM skills in students to address the shortage of STEM professionals by engaging in STEM-related industry challenges. Born in Kingston, Jamaica and brought up in inner-city Miami, Barrington saw a football scholarship as his only route to college.  But at 15, he met a Jamaican airline pilot, Captain Gary Robinson, whose mentoring helped motivate him to pursue a professional career in aviation.  This fated friendship helped Barrington find his calling to fly and explore the world and share his passion and experiences with others. In 2005, Barrington founded the Miami-based nonprofit organization Experience Aviation (EA) to introduce young people to career opportunities in aviation and STEM related fields.  In 2006, he opened the EA Learning Center to provide middle and high school students with STEM programs and career guidance.  Shortly after Barrington's historic flight, he challenged a group of students, many from failing schools to build an experimental aircraft in 10 weeks.  He then flew it on its first flight marking the beginning of Experience Aviation's Build and Soar Program. 10 years later, Experience Aviation's Build and Soar Program continues to challenge students in school districts throughout the country, making a positive impact on their personal and educational journeys! Experience Aviation is fortunate to have a great team behind us.  From our staff, board of directors and advisory board to our wonderful donors and sponsors, like all the parts of a well-built aircraft, each contributor plays a vital role in the success of our organization, allowing us to soar high above the clouds.
