Thank you to First Flight and HCH Aviation for joining us as a General Sponsor this year.
HCH Aviation is a flight training school at A.L. Mangham Jr. Regional Airport in Nacogdoches. They train pilots at every level, from a first lesson to a commercial pilot certificate, and they partner with Stephen F. Austin State University to train the SFA Flying Jacks.
Their nonprofit, First Flight, has two goals. The first is to introduce K-12 students across East Texas to aviation and aerospace. The second is to help Flying Jacks students pay for their FAA check rides, which can cost thousands of dollars.
We’re grateful for their support of the Foundation and can’t wait to see them at the banquet this November.
Table sponsorships for the Annual Hero Banquet are available at nachero.org.

Texas Farm Credit is a customer-owned lender that helps East Texans buy land, build homes in the country, and keep their farms, ranches, and timber operations running. From rural real estate and hunting land to equipment and livestock loans, their Nacogdoches team knows this area and the people who make a living off the land. We’re grateful to have them supporting the Foundation.
