About Us
Alpha Omicron Alpha Aeronautical Honor Society (AOA) originated at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach, Florida. Established by David Emanuel in fall of 1998, it  became an official chapter in the spring of 1999. The formation of AOA was the first of its kind, being the only honor society for college students pursuing a professional pilot career. The name of the organization, Alpha Omicron Alpha is taken from our motto, "Always in the sky, excel." The purpose of AOA is to promote excellence, leadership, professionalism, and safety in aviation. The society gives its members greater opportunities in a highly competitive industry. An organization such as AOA is a chance for networking among leading aviation companies, which helps our members strive in the direction of their respective aviation goals.
