In the month or so since I began my cool new job at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University - Prescott Campus, I've encountered sights didn't quite expect. I posed in front of the school's F-104N Starfighter NASA chase plane (N811NA) on static display. I've seen a solid fuel liquid oxygen hybrid rocket come apart during a test at the school's rocket motor test stand. I attended a public lecture on the history of the U2 spy plane presented by a former U2 pilot and retired ERAU professor. I've been on three observation flights, complimentary ride-alongs with student pilots and their instructors offered to staff and faculty. Two were in Cessna 172 aircraft. One evening earlier this week I got to take a IFR flight in a Diamond 42. Quite the ride! Quite the school!
I can remember making a model of the F-104 back in my earlier years. Is it a static display? Or do they keep it in flyable condition?
ReplyDeleteNo such luck. N811NA is forever parked next to the book store on the north side of the campus.
