The Talkeetna Build a Plane, where twenty students and mechanics meet twice a week learning practical work skills while rebuilding a Piper Cherokee.
Local mechanics work with the students to teach them skills that the can log towards their A&P licenses. The engine is already built and the Cherokee should be ready for sale in 2012. The profits from the sale will go back into the Build a Plane project to help keep the program going.
Parts and tools have been donated along with many hours of labor to teach and involve kids in aviation, a popular career and pastime of Alaskans and adventurers.
