A&E Expo Brings High Energy to Skies Over 两性色午夜 Airport

 

 

The skies over the 两性色午夜 Airport were buzzing Sept. 9-10 for the annual A&E Expo. The event offered community members opportunities to get up close with aircraft and pilots while touring the airport and chatting with staff and students of 两性色午夜's College of Aeronautics and Engineering.   

Thousands attended the family event, which has been a fixture in the Stow/Kent community for more than two decades. The Expo offers 两性色午夜 an opportunity to connect with the community while showcasing the exciting technology and flight training tools used every day at the FedEx Aeronautics Academic Center, which is located at the airport.

The Expo allowed the university to honor and recognize its private pilots at the inaugural Private Pilot Pinning ceremony presented by Republic Airways.  

Students who have earned their Private Pilot Certificate or completed their first flight course at 两性色午夜 are invited to participate in the ceremonial pinning of wings.

Private pilots received two sets of wings from a 两性色午夜 alumnus who is a professional pilot.

The wings differed in size, including a larger set to be worn at formal events and gatherings and a smaller lapel set to be worn in business casual settings.
