Aviation spotlight from last week: Spring break was a great opportunity for our Aviation Coordinator/instructor Joe Schmitt and Power Plant Instructor Mr Nick Odom to attend the 2024 ATEC (Aviation Technician Education Council) Conference. Both Nick and Joe gained a wealth of information ranging from aviation technical maintenance trends data, FAA insight concerning testing and regulations, and they made some important networking connections during their 3 days attending this conference in Tucson AZ.
