🚁💧 A retired Blackhawk, now owned and operated by Trans Aero, is taking on a new mission as a firefighting aircraft! While stopping in for fuel, pilots Tighe and Jeri, along with crew chief Tyler, took time to meet with nearby Airframe & Powerplant students. They shared what it’s like to operate this incredible machine in its new role—protecting communities from wildfires—and gave students an inside look at the teamwork it takes to keep an aircraft like this mission-ready. Moments like these show how aviation brings people together: experienced crews passing down real-world knowledge to the next generation of aircraft technicians. #Aviation #Blackhawk #TransAero #Firefighting #NextGenAviation #STEM

💅🏼✨"Nailed It" Challenge ✨💅🏼 Our high school 2nd year cosmetology students put their creativity to the test! Each student was given a random nail design sketched by a peer and had to bring it to life on the nail table. From abstract doodles to wild masterpieces, they gave it their best shot and the results did not disappoint. 😍 So much talent and teamwork! Way to future nail artists! 💕

✈️ This week in Mr. Schroyer’s Aviation Maintenance class, students have been hard at work on the cockpit simulator for the Cessna 414 aircraft. Their focus has been on setting up and configuring the various systems to mirror real-world controls and instruments. From flight instruments and throttle controls to navigation systems and other key components, the simulator is being designed to provide a hands-on, realistic training experience.

The ultimate goal is to have the simulator fully functional, giving students the opportunity to practice and deepen their understanding of aircraft systems and flight procedures. It’s been both a challenging and rewarding process that’s helping prepare them for future success in aviation. 🚀

The PM Graphic Design crew has been hard at work creating double-page spreads that are as bold and creative as they are professional. From eye-catching layouts to carefully chosen images and typography, each spread tells its own story. After finishing their designs, students are mounting the pieces for display—turning their digital work into something everyone can see and appreciate. It’s a project that pushes their creativity while giving them a real taste of what designers do in the field.
