SPECIAL GUEST CONTRIBUTOR:
ALEX MORMAN, US AVIATION
My name is Alex Morman, and I am the Director for US Aviation Academy’s new campus at KHYI. I have nearly ten years of experience working as an Airframe and Powerplant mechanic in the General Aviation sector.
I have had a passion for aviation since I was very young. I had the opportunity to visit an aviation museum as part of a field trip in elementary school and had no idea at the time that this would be the life changing start of a fulfilling career in the aviation industry.
Seeing the many exhibits at this museum, I was fascinated by the main attraction: an SR71 Blackbird. At the time, I had no understanding of how something so large could even get off the ground, let alone fly at speeds over 2,000 miles per hour. I left the museum that night convinced that one day, I would join the ranks of airmen across the world. In August of 2014, I graduated from A&P school, starting immediately afterwards in General Aviation.
In January of 2023, US Aviation began work on the new campus at San Marcos Regional Airport. We have a first class ready to start in the middle of June. The truth is the aviation industry is in dire need of new aviation maintenance technicians. Technicians are in short supply everywhere, whether it be in GA, corporate aviation, or the major airlines.
US Aviation is striving to be on the leading edge of education to fulfill that need. Our program is approximately 12 months of study, covering all subjects necessary to become an aviation maintenance professional. Students will receive the classroom instruction and hands-on training needed to prepare them for the FAA written exams and the oral/practical tests, at an affordable price. If you enjoy working with your hands and would like to pursue a career in the aviation industry, there is no better time to jump in. If you would like to learn more, please see the flyer further down in this newsletter, or feel free to drop by and talk to us.
