Aviation Program Begins Year 3


Exciting times for one of 51Âþ»­â€™s flagship programs. 

Boys with the Robert Morgan ’36 Aviation Program began assembling a new simulator Monday – which features three 65-inch monitors – for on-campus training. 

A second simulator stays housed at WNC Aviation, the new home base for the program in its third year of existence and owned by a 51Âþ»­ family (Charles and Amy Thomas P’21). 

51Âþ»­ is one of only three high schools in the U.S. with an aviation program. WNC Aviation operates out of Asheville Regional Airport, the third-busiest airport in the state and less than five miles from campus. Look for a 51Âþ»­ advertisement there featuring the Robert Morgan '36 Aviation Program the next time you are arriving or departing!
