Luke Air Force Base, Ariz. --  Seventeen students, with a desire to fly, had the chance to explore the world of aviation during the Aviation Career Education (ACE) Academy last week. The students ages 13-17 came from all over the country to participate in the course. The participants built model airplanes, toured aviation facilities, and learn the history of aviation and the Tuskegee Airmen. The highlight of the week long program was a tour and the chance to experience flying in a simulator at Luke Air Force Base, Ariz. The academy is sponsored by the Organization of Black Aerospace Professionals and supported by the Archer Ragsdale Arizona Chapter of Tuskegee Airmen.
