The Florida International Air Show is proud to announce that DreamLaunch with Jamail Larkins will be presented to Charlotte County middle schools during Air Show week, offering students an unforgettable opportunity to explore their dreams and discover future career pathways.
Jamail Larkins, a nationally recognized aviation entrepreneur, inspirational speaker, and the FAA’s first Ambassador for Aviation and Space Education, will bring his high-energy DreamLaunch program directly to local students. The initiative encourages young people to set ambitious goals, embrace STEM education, and recognize the boundless opportunities available to them.
“We are thrilled to partner with Jamail Larkins to bring DreamLaunch to Charlotte County,” said Denise Dull, President, Florida International Air Show. “This program gives our middle school students not only an up-close connection to aviation but also the tools and inspiration to dream bigger than they ever imagined.”
Through interactive storytelling and real-life experiences, Larkins will highlight the importance of perseverance, education, and innovation – values that align perfectly with the Air Show’s mission of inspiring the next generation.
“DreamLaunch is about helping young people realize that their dreams are within reach if they’re willing to put in the effort,” said Jamail Larkins. “ Your background shouldn’t be a barrier to realizing your dreams. You can make any dream a reality if you’re willing to work hard at it. I’m excited to share this message in Charlotte County, especially during a week where aviation and STEM take center stage.”
The Florida International Air Show, happening November 1–2, 2025, at Punta Gorda Airport, will feature world-class performances, including the U.S. Navy Blue Angels, Warbird Thunder, and top aerobatic pilots. Bringing DreamLaunch to Charlotte County Middle Schools adds an important educational component to the week’s festivities.
