Support for Scott Shin's Family in Their Time of Loss

It is with unimaginable sorrow that we share the sudden loss of our dear friend, Seungho (Scott) Shin, on Saturday, July 26, 2025. Scott was so much more than his title—he was a passionate, hardworking Certified Flight Instructor who cared deeply about every student he taught, always going the extra mile to ensure their success. Outside of aviation, Scott was a devoted husband and a loving father who cherished every moment with his family. His greatest pride was creating a home filled with laughter, warmth, and love, and his kindness touched everyone who knew him.

In the wake of this tragedy, we are reaching out to our community of friends, family, and kind-hearted supporters to help ease the financial burden on his loved ones. Funds raised will go toward funeral expenses and other unexpected costs during this unimaginably difficult time.

Any contribution-no matter how small-will make a meaningful difference and will be deeply appreciated. If you are unable to donate, we kindly ask that you keep Scott and his family in your thoughts and prayers and share this page with others who may wish to help.

NOTE: We will be holding a memorial to honor Scott’s life and legacy today, July 30th at 6:00 PM, in the West Hangar Building at Hillsboro Aero Academy. Please make sure to look for the signs for the entrance. All are welcome to join us in remembering and celebrating the life of someone who meant so much to so many.
