While he was there, he made presentations at two different high schools for the 1,200 students getting ready to graduate. Sunrise Aviation's sister school, Shanghai EasyFly Aviation Technology Co., Ltd., sponsored the trip.

Sunrise Aviation and Shanghai EasyFly have created a cutting edge aviation college program for Chinese Pilots. It is a 4 year program created for Chinese high school graduates that will include, lessons in English, a 4-year bachelors degree, all of the pilot ratings, and an internship in which they will be a flight instructor. These Chinese students will be attending Florida State College in Jacksonville.
