Northrop Grumman Corporation is donating a Cessna 401 aircraft, N6238Q, to the
Aviation Maintenance Technology Program at Augusta Technical College. The appraised
value of the Aircraft is $18,260. The Aircraft was delivered today, just after noon, to the
Thomson-McDuffie Regional Airport (HQU). The company will make the adjustments needed to disable the plane since
it will not be used for flying, but for maintenance instruction. This gift will provide real
world training while utilizing the latest technology available.
Augusta Technical College's Thomson McDuffie campus has a hanger built and is gearing
up to start classes for Spring Semester which begins January 8, 2013. For more

in this program for all interested students, so applying now is strongly suggested.
