Students in Charlotte Technical College’s aviation program will soon have a helicopter and a helicopter engine for hands-on training, thanks to separate donations accepted by the Charlotte County Public Schools board of education earlier this week.
The helicopter, valued at $30,000, is being donated by the International Defense and Aerospace Group and U.S. Aviation Training Solutions Inc. It is a Schweizer 269 C-1.
Continental Aerospace Technologies donated the helicopter engine, valued at $14,000.
