Diamond Aircraft recently completed a little pilot project with Lufthansa Aviation Training, putting a pair of their battery-powered eDA40s to the test in some true-to-life training operations. The results are good enough to brag about, apparently, since both Diamond and Lufthansa Training said the eDA40 passed muster. In a significant step forward for aviation education in Alabama, Leadership in Flight Training Academy (LIFT) and Tuskegee University have unveiled the inaugural Tuskegee University Flight School. This marks a pioneering collaboration aimed at fostering a new generation of aviation professionals. The University of Oklahoma celebrated a significant expansion in its aviation training capabilities with the introduction of eleven new aircraft to its School of Aviation. This event, which took place on Friday at OU’s Max Westheimer Airport, featured the arrival of the school’s first two helicopters and nine Piper single-engine airplanes. All this — and MORE in today’s episode of Airborne!!!

We don't need to force people into aviation just because they have dark skin. Let's keep aviation safe, let people choose their own way in life, and evaluate people on their merits and ability instead of skin color. Keep racism and social engineering out of aviation!
