Atlanta Chapter 2026 Kickoff Event

ATL SFTE 2026 Kickoff Event Summary

The Atlanta SFTE Chapter kicked off 2026 with a successful Networking Meet-and-Greet on Friday, January 30th, held at Republic Social House in Atlanta. The event brought together flight test professionals, aviation enthusiasts, and Georgia Tech students from the Atlanta area for an evening of connection and conversation.

We were honored to welcome Jen Uchida, fellow flight tester and immediate past president of SFTE International, as our special guest. Jen generously shared her time, experiences, and perspectives with attendees, making the event both engaging and insightful. Her presence emphasized the importance of community and mentorship within the flight test profession. The enthusiastic participation and turnout highlighted the continued interest and support for SFTE and its mission at the local level.

We would like to thank everyone who attended and contributed to the success of the event, as well as those who supported the chapter through patch orders. Events like this reinforce the value of bringing professionals together and set a positive tone for the year ahead.

The Atlanta SFTE Chapter looks forward to hosting more events in 2026 and continuing to grow and support our local flight test community.
