Indiana State’s vice president for academic affairs Jack Maynard says the space at the airport will allow the program to become even more distinctive and more attractive to potential students. Department chair Harry Minniear says the school’s aviation technology department will manage the flight academy’s daily operations. The school will have airplanes to train student pilots.

In case you haven't seen these pics...

from Bill H           I nterior of the Endeavour Spaceship These rare photos capture the Flight Deck (cockpit) of the Space Shuttle Endeavour, fully powered for one of the final times.  Just a few weeks later, at 9:58am EDT on May 11, Endeavour was powered down for the final time in history.  It was the last of the three space shuttles to have power.  Below, other views show the mid-deck, gutted of its lockers and storage areas, and three final photos show the white room entrance in the Orbiter Processing Facility, signed by thousands over the years. http://www.launchphotography.com/Endeavour_Flight_Deck.html -- ~~/)

These things were very nimble even with the pontoons.- The A6M2-N float plane version of the Zero did extremely well, suffering only a small loss in its legendary maneuverability. Top speed was not affected, however, the aircraft's relatively light armament was a detriment. Snow on deck. USS Philippine Sea North Pacific 1945 --------
