Dowling College Welcomes Cradle of Aviation Summer Camp to Tour
Aviation Facilities
On Friday, July 25th, from 10:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m. Dowling College will
welcome a group of approximately 35 high school students from the Cradle
of Aviation Summer Camp to tour Dowling's School of Aviation
facilities. Frank Pizzardi, Director of Admissions Operations, will
oversee the tour of the aviation facilities. The students will enjoy a
tour of Dowling's aircraft and will have the opportunity to use our
simulators.
The Dowling College School of Aviation is situated at Brookhaven
Airport, which enables extensive flying opportunities not present at
other collegiate aviation programs. Three Frasca flight simulators are
available 24-7, and we maintain our own fleet of Piper and Cessna
aircraft, including the first all-glass cockpit planes at any school in
the world. Dowling is one of only 23 approved colleges & universities in
the U.S. that participates in the AT-CTI program, providing students an
opportunity to become Air Traffic Controllers.
"The School of Aviation at Dowling College is actively engaging in the
local community and beyond opening our doors to minds of all ages. We
want to show the world the vast opportunities emerging in aviation and
get visitors excited about what we do as a training institution and how
they can be a part of our exciting growth," said Dr. John Wensveen,
Dean of the School of Aviation.
