This comes after Seminole County teacher of the year, Wekiva Elementary School’s Julie Gabrovic, also soared to new heights with the Thunderbirds, doing rolls, loops and turns up to 9 Gs during her 45-minute flight. Gabrovic was selected as part of the group’s “Hometown Hero” program that honors community members.

“I could not be more thrilled,” Gabrovic said in a statement. “I am extremely honored to have been given this opportunity.”
