USA – At EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2025, Redbird Flight Simulations and Sporty’s announced a new strategic partnership to jointly advance the Migration Flight Training Conference, a premier event for aviation educators and flight training professionals in the United States.

• The partnership will see Sporty’s actively contribute to the development of the conference agenda, content creation, and promotional outreach to its extensive audience of pilots, students, and flight instructors.

• Migration was established by Redbird in 2011 and has evolved into the leading annual gathering for U.S. flight training professionals, university aviation educators, K-12 administrators, and general aviation stakeholders.
