We still have a ways to go, and things are very much a work in progress, but being back in our space, together, is a feeling we can’t quite put into words. A little rebuilding, a lot of resilience, and so much gratitude. One step at a time, we’re making it home again! ❤️

About

Aviation Career Enrichment (ACE) was founded on November 22, 1980 by Julius J. Alexander. The idea of ACE came about after Mr. Alexander faced discrimination in the late 1960’s when he was denied the opportunity to become an airline pilot due to his race. He knew that he wanted to impact the lives of young people and empower future generations of pilots and other aviation professionals. Julius also felt he was fulfilling God’s purpose for his life by sharing his passion for aviation and giving back to the community.

Mr. Alexander was a former Atlanta Public Schools High School Teacher, Television Newsman, Publicist for Lockheed Martin Aerospace, and a published aviation writer. Additionally, he held flight and ground instructor certifications in single and multi-engine airplanes. Julius Alexander logged over 13,000 flight hours teaching primary, advanced, and instrument training. He trained over 200 pilots through their 1st solo. Forty of his former students, and/or alumni of ACE, are current or retired Captains and First Officers at several major airlines. Captain Patrick Alexander, his son, serves as President and CEO of ACE. Others serve in the military and various aviation careers. Throughout his life, Mr. Alexander received numerous awards and accolades, with one of the highest honors being inducted into the Georgia Aviation Hall of Fame in April 2011.
