Distinction & Innovation Soaring to New Heights At the beginning of the fall 2023 semester, our Flight Science program welcomed two brand new Skyleader 600 aircraft that will be used to train our students in the friendly skies. “The acquisition of these airplanes marks an important milestone for our Flight Science program at Reedley College,” said Flight Science Instructor Jaime Luque. “By blending cutting-edge technology with enhanced training capabilities, we have created a platform that not only advances our students’ skills and safety in flight, but also ensures affordability and alignment with industry-leading standards in aviation.” The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) inspected and cleared these aircraft for takeoff, with Flight Instructor Lexi Lawrence taking the maiden flight. Three more Skyleader 600 planes made their way to the Reedley Airport by the end of the academic year.
