Wanted: Technical Assistance
As
Iowa Western Community College prepares to move into its new airport-based
facility at Council Bluffs Municipal Airport, the chair of the
aviation program, Eldon Young, points out that being on the airport
adds a new dimension to the program. There is now room for actual
aircraft and large engine breakdown and testing practice for students
to work on in the Aviation Maintenance Technology program.
However, like most schools, IWCC could use some help. Young is looking for actual aircraft, engines (PT-6, et. al.), testing equipment, and the like. The school currently feeds graduates to repair stations in the region, and looks to graduate up to 100 A&Ps a year.
Young can be reached at (712) 325-3414 or [email protected].
