Tuesday we got the go-ahead for a project at Columbus North HS, Columbus, IN. We have been negotiating on this since October. I was first contacted by Cummins (the diesel engine mfgr) that they would like to see something like this in Columbus, their headquarters. We are working in conjunction with a local college, industry, the local airport (BAK,) and the local school system. The build will begin in the high school and finish on the airport, at least as it is planned now. We begin this August.
Wednesday May 4 we have our first meeting with the kids. There is a lot of prep to do, but we have some of the tools, and good local support as far as mentors. One of our directors will be directly involved.
You might note that BAK is a popular stop, and has a good restaurant, so give me a call if you ever want to visit this project. We can set something up, probably even for chapter visits.
Any donations toward tools, kits, or their Oshkosh trip (Only a few this year) can be made directly to AviationNation, Inc, 4580 W 900N, Scipio, IN, 47273. We are of course 501(c)(3) non-profit.
