Students in the Dickinson‑Iron Intermediate School District are taking an aviation class offered in partnership with Ford Airport, with class sizes of five or fewer and sessions lasting two hours a day, five days a week, split between mechanics and simulator flying.
A mechanics‑focused session included an annual inspection where students removed a propeller and performed compression checks, oil checks and other certification tasks, and instructor Tim Howen says most participants remain in aviation and often find careers in Dickinson County, while many express interest in becoming airline pilots, aircraft mechanics, or working for the Air Force or Lockheed Martin.
