Offspeed Aero was established in 2025 when we identified a need for a high-level STEM course of study in the Tampa Bay area, specifically geared towards aerospace. There were plenty of general coding camps available, but nothing that could spark or foster an interest in aviation, or cement ideas learned in the university setting.

Over the course of just a few months, the pure engineering aspect expanded to encompass the growing demand for UAV (Drone) operations, as well as the natural addition of Private Pilot directed study for those needing additional support prior to taking the knowledge exam as a prerequisite to their oral/practical.

Why Offspeed? Callsigns are a longstanding tradition, and terms of endearment among aviators. Despite hollywood's artistic license, most callsigns are not slick- they're usually earned from a mistake or doing something embarassing... or just because somebody's exaggerated foosball wind-up translates to an excruciatingly slow goal by the defender!
