Sporty’s $2,500 Scholarship Winner Named

Student and Aspiring Airline Pilot Claims The Prize

Isaacc Love-Jackson has been interested in becoming a pilot all of his life. He grew up in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin where he watched airplanes almost daily. Love-Jackson is also the latest recipient of Sporty’s $2,500 Flight Crew Scholarship. He worked at Wisconsin Aviation at Truax Field in 2018 to earn the money for his flight training.

Isaac wants to use his award to pay down the debt he has from commercial training and get started on his CFI. Issac can’t wait to share his passion for aviation with others and then continue on to his ultimate dream of flying for a legacy air carrier.

“Being able to share aviation with others has been the most rewarding aspect of my aviation journey,” said Love-Jackson. “I especially love sharing the aviation experience with younger individuals to hopefully spark their interest in aviation.”

Sporty’s Chief Instructor, Eric Radtke, shared the news of his scholarship with Love-Jackson during a recent video chat. Isaac utilized his Sporty’s Flight Crew membership and online course access for his Instrument and Commercial training, and just earned his Commercial certificate in July.

“Currently, I just passed my commercial two Sundays ago, so I am a commercial pilot,” he said on the call with Radtke. “I am trying to get a job at Wisconsin Aviation,” he continued. Love-Jackson currently flies 172s, 152s, Warriors, Archers and Aeros.

Gold and Platinum levels of membership to Sportys’ Flight Crew include the opportunity to apply for a $2,500 flying scholarship. Other benefits according to Sporty’s website include access to training programs, unlimited free shipping, an on-call personal Sporty’s shopper, and more.
