High School in Iowa gets Learjet
The Des Moines Public Schools recently added a Learjet model 35 to their aviation technologies part 147 school. The aircraft will be used strictly for teaching. (www.kcci.com) Más...whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?
Maybe a Learjet in flying condition for a High School is a bit over the top, but no complaints here. What ever happened to the trend of placing an example of America's pride, technology, accomplishments, heritage, and history on display as a static display at a city park, stadium, or school. Even raised on a pole to reduce vandalism can display the aircraft as if in flight and make for a better photograph of the static display. As I have travelled around the U.S. I have noticed that the "static display" aircraft is getting harder to find. And many that I have known about for 40 years have vanished. Does eeverything need to be cut up for it's scrap value alone. Point being that any donation of this magnitude should be applauded and accepted if it can be utilized and maintained.
yep
I would like to get back on the aviation track as I put it on hold for my family....I went to a little high school in Lawndale N.C.....N.C. has really never been a flight school meca and I wish I would have been given the oppurtunity to learn more about aviation some 10 yrs. ago....On the other they did teach brick laying, automotive and BULL CASTRATION..lol....
You do have the opportunity to learn more about aviation now.
I will....paying down some debt first......like my wifes car...lol.....then I'll start back flying
