What graduates are saying...

“I tell everyone how I did it. I was working and going to school at the same time to fuel my addiction to flying. I had a great time with it. I definitely would tell (new students) to get a hold of Larry Altree and talk to him. Flying is never the same. There is always something new and it's very challenging.”

Mike Lane (2002) Aviation Science, airline pilot
