NATCA members Omar Chaudry (Akron-Canton ATCT, CAK), Wilbert Peay (Cleveland Center, ZOB), and Judd Wallace (ZOB) recently participated in the 2026 Props and Pistons Festival in Akron, Ohio.

The festival also offered aviation-related educational opportunities.
NATCA's booth provided an opportunity to engage directly with festival attendees and share information about the important role of air traffic controllers within the National Airspace System. The Props and Pistons Festival is sponsored by Inspire Aviation, an Ohio-based nonprofit organization that provides educational opportunities for youth and adults, exposing them to careers in aviation and other STEM-related fields.
