HOT SPRINGS, Ark. (April 6, 2013) -- Airplane lovers and career seekers are invited to attend the second annual Aerospace Day, which will be held from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m. today, April 6 at Hot Springs Memorial Field, 525 Airport Road. <\/p>\n
The event is free of charge and open to the public. Ample free parking is available onsite. <\/p>\n
Representatives from various companies and educational institutions will be on hand to discuss local career opportunities in the aerospace industry. <\/p>\n
\"Local aerospace jobs are available right now,\" said Airport Director George Downie. \"These jobs often become careers, as people tend to stay in the field once their training is complete.\" <\/p>\n
High school students and those seeking new careers are encouraged to attend. <\/p>\n
Henderson State University will bring a flight simulator and training aircraft display. National Park Community College, area airframe & powerplant (A&P) schools, and military recruiters will offer applications and additional information. AAR will provide facility tours, and Western Pilot, Inc. will give an air tanker water drop demonstration. <\/p>\n
A highlight for families and airplane lovers of all ages will be the Commemorative Air Force Missouri Wing's B-25 \"Show Me\" Mitchell Bomber and TBM-3 Avenger Torpedo Bomber on display. <\/p>\n
The B-25 will also be available for \"Living History\" rides for $395 per person, which include pre- and post-flight briefings and a half-hour flight.
