Our History
Carolina Aviators Network began in 2021 as a simple social group for pilots and aviation enthusiasts across the Carolinas — a place to connect, share experiences, and build friendships. What started as casual conversations and meetups quickly grew into a mission-driven organization with multiple arms focused on service, education, and resource sharing. Today, CAN brings together aviators who are passionate about giving back through community initiatives, disaster relief, animal rescue flights, and mentorship, all while fostering connection and collaboration within the aviation community.
