The panel was completely gutted and rewired, an improvement that should solve a multitude of problems that have been affecting our Sundowner operations for years. Also rather invisible,are a number of structural changes, including landing gear refurbishment and prop overhaul. It's pretty much a new airplane inside, and we're sure that you will enjoy flying it. Our Sundowner forms part of our three-aircraft fleet at College Aviation. Our credit students are eligible to apply for our flight training program in the first two weeks of the Fall semester.
Refurbishment photos are available in a new photo album.
You've just got to see the photo of the panel when it was completely gutted. SIU Update All is on target for the transfer of the Southern Illinois University Aviation Management program to our campus in January 1999. The Memorandum of Understanding between SIU and Mt SAC is now in its third draft. It is expected to go to our college's Board of Trustees for approval by September. In the meantime, our college is working closely with SIU to establish the facilities needed at Mt SAC in January.
