Visiting Williamsport pa yeaterday I wanted to check out the airport. After unknowingly seeing the vice presidant take off we drove around the airport. I was surprised to see a A-6 Intruder on the field. Any info on this? I am guessing the aviation school on the airport uses this for teaching?

Yep I had no camera either! :x

Nate,

And, yes, the Intruder does belong to the Pennsylvania College of Technology's aviation department. It is a part of the Lumley Aviation Center there at the airport.

Nathan, if you don't mind could you upload a shot of the Intruder...
http://www.aerialvisuals.ca/AirframePho ... rameSN=800

If you took any photos of any of the other aiframes at the college...
ImageAerial Visuals - Location Dossier - Pennsylvania College of Technology
...it would be great to have a few of those as well.

Thanks in advance for any uploads if you can.

Mike

Hi Guys,

I was wondering if anyone noticed that the old school had had a modern facelift. I went to A&P school there when it was the "Williamsport Area Community College" back around 1980. Oh did we have fun with the stuff they had on hand then. I often wondered whatever happened to the old CV-240/T-29 they had. Any thoughts or knowledge ?? I know that the UH-1 Huey is still there along with the Twin Bonanza (?)..which looks a little rough given the time frame. The Hiller Helicopters look like they are gone also.

Give me some feedback folks :)

Paul
