The course is designed as a foundation for the building block approach to avionics training and provides comprehensive understanding of the fundamentals of electrical and avionics technology. Classroom training focuses on the theoretical and practical aspects of the “theory of circuit operation” to enhance knowledge of aircraft systems and improve troubleshooting skills.
Air to Air Adventures is a new endeavor by famed aviation photographer Paul Bowen. He invites you to come and spend the afternoon with him in the B-25 — and bring your friends. You can fly in the B-25 as copilot or as a passenger. You can sit next to Bowen, shooting your airplane, or be in your own plane, smiling for the camera. You’ll receive a DVD of images of your airplane, large framable photographic prints from the shoot, personalized books of your unique adventure, and Air to Air Adventures logo-wear.
