Southwest Technology Center -

Southwest Tech-Hangar 33 "Spotlight of the week" brings you the 2024 Altus parade "Christmas around the World" Float. Our entry reads as follows: "Southwest Tech- North Pole Aviation Division of Santa’s workshop- proudly operates from Hangar 33, a branch of Southwest Tech that focuses on maintaining Santa's worldwide delivery system of happiness and joy. This team of skilled maintainers is tirelessly working around the clock, 24/7, to complete all necessary final maintenance tasks, ensuring that every child around the world experiences a magical Christmas. The commitment of these maintenance Elves to aviation maintenance exemplifies how this field can connect people globally, making the world feel smaller and more united. Southwest Tech extends its heartfelt gratitude to Bill Hubbard and Rent City of Altus for their generous support in providing the truck and trailer that serve as a mobile work center, allowing the normally secretive operations of the North Pole to be visible to the public. This collaboration embodies the spirit of community and teamwork. For those interested in pursuing a rewarding career in Aviation or exploring the various vocational offerings at Southwest Tech, we encourage you to reach out to Student Services for enrollment opportunities. Embrace the chance to be part of an exciting field that contributes to a joyful and connected world." And here's a insider preview look at progress on the awesome float being created with the help of Aviation and Graphic Design students. Come on out and see the finished product Saturday night. Merry Christmas to all.
