Students at Southwest Tech got a hands-on lesson in one of aviation’s most important safety systems this week as Aviation Maintenance Technology instructor Larry Grimes led a class on aircraft ice and rain control systems.

The session focused on the use and maintenance of pneumatic de-icer boots—flexible rubber coverings installed on aircraft wings and tail surfaces that expand and contract to break away accumulated ice during flight. Icing is a major hazard in aviation, adding weight and disrupting the smooth flow of air over the wings. For aircraft mechanics, understanding how to properly inspect, maintain, and troubleshoot these systems is a vital skill.

In construction students are starting our toolbox project, turning raw lumber into something useful they will actually get to keep and use. They will measure, cut, and assemble each piece, putting our skills with saws, hammers, and drills to the test. By the end, they practice accuracy and craftsmanship—students have a tough, handmade toolbox to carry our gear, built by our own hands. 🙂‍↕️

🚁💧 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! 💕
