Fort Worth is proud to be the Aviation and Defense Capital of Texas, with more than 600 companies and $120 million in new investments in the industry. Our higher education partners like @TCU are ensuring we are prepared to meet this moment.
 
This week, we celebrated the first year of TCU's professional aviation program and its growing role in strengthening the talent pipeline that will power this dynamic industry in Fort Worth and across the nation for years to come.
 
Congratulations to TCU, and congratulations to the Horned Frogs training to be our next generation of aviation leaders!
