Seattle Aviation High School
Although I have heard of it in the past, I tend to (now and again) forget
things. There is an article in the local paper about a Gig harbor gal who has won appointment to the "Aviation High School" located in South Seattle. My question is this: Many years ago, one could take a run-out engine to the Edison Technical school (for aero mechanics) in Seattle and, for the cost of parts, they would rebuild it as a class project. Do you know if the above titled school does the same? I would suppose not, in our lawsuit-ridden age. Rich S. |

Ellis Technical High School in Danielson, CT. The person you want to contact is Charlie Hilton, deparment head of the Aviation School at Ellis Tech. His email is (I think) We are a few weeks from the end of this school year so it would have to be a next year project. Errol Groff Instructor, Manufacturing Technology H.H.

My question was not referring to a specific job. I was just curious if this practice still existed. Glad to hear that it is alive and well. Kinda like getting your hair cut for free at the local barber college! Rich S. |

This isn't a technical school, it's just a "regular" high school with an aviation slant. Ron Wanttaja |

Next you're going to tell me you can go to a dental school to get your teeth cleaned. :-) Montblack Margene and her mom go to the beauty college in Minot, to get manicures and pedicures. I visit the Minot Air Force Base while they're away. Ok, last visit to the base was 1997. |

The aviation technical school here in the East Bay (San Francisco Bay) will absolutely not touch ANYTHING that might find it's way into an airworthy airplane for liability reasons, nor can you use any of their tools. |

Kinda like getting your hair cut for free at the local barber college! (As far as I kneaux) Over here in Louisiana the only way to get your motor worked on is to take the class and have the teacher allow it into your schedule. Thats the way it was back in the 50's when my dad did his tugboat engines and when I talked to the instructor recently about our aviation ones... Local barber college charges, not as much as a licensed barber, but definitely not free... |
