RTAG is a veteran-run 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization designed to help all veterans, regardless of experience, jump start their post military career in the world of aviation.
Making a difference for Veterans
RTAG began as a campaign to address the national pilot shortage with both professional and experienced Rotary Wing Aviators. This movement has since evolved, now endeavoring to place Veterans in the Aviation and Aerospace Industries, regardless of their experience. Our Aviation and Aerospace Partners recognize the value of our Veterans, not only placing them behind the controls but hiring them across the industry.

Since the beginning, RTAG has made education and mentorship a priority. RTAG Convention info sessions are taught by industry experts, with topics ranging from financial planning, resume prep, VA benefits, airline recruiter briefings, spouse education and more.
RTAG has developed several scholarships to aid transitioning veterans. If you’re interested in changing the life of a veteran forever, consider joining our family of sponsors.
We consult with aviation industry leaders on how to reach this massive pool of talent. RTAG has developed innovative hiring and training solutions for many airlines and companies. Some of these offer significant tax breaks to our partners, as well as the satisfaction of giving back to those who’ve risked everything for our nation.
RTAG is the largest charity of its kind in the world. RTAG helps all veterans, regardless of experience, jumpstart their post military career in the world of aviation. We also help our corporate partners tap into the largest community of skilled aviation professionals in the United States, giving them direct access to pilots, maintainers, technicians, dispatchers and more.
Keeping this in mind, we are pleased with what our members are saying about RTAG, like in the testimonials displayed to the left. Consider becoming a member today!
It is difficult to make decisions that will impact the rest of your life. Having someone in your corner matters…I highly recommend reaching out. Their counsel and advice were exactly what my family and I needed to plan our next move.
Hands down the most informative and supportive group, and the single greatest resource for transitioning military aviators.
I keep coming back. The wealth of information and quality people in the group make it a great resource for all who are looking to enter into the airline industry.
Best Veterans group out there! Absolutely outstanding group of some of the greatest Americans I know!
RTAG is such a great organization. The amount of helpful information and general goodwill towards transitioning veterans is quite amazing. They helped me make the transition and gave helpful advice all along the way.
RTAG will be hosting our popular annual convention October 11th and 12th, 2025 in Denver, CO at the Colorado Convention Center!
