PIPER SUPER CUB

This aircraft was purchased in the Fall of 1996 by the Aerospace Department from the South Carolina Department of Forestry. It had been involved in a fuel exhaustion accident in 1988. Through the hard work of many it has become the favorite of many students.




DEHAVILLAND DHC-2 BEAVER

This aircraft was purchased by the Aerospace department in conjunction with the MTSU Foundation in a rough condition. It was purchased from the Texas Department of forestry and flown to the Murfreesboro Airport. Students in the Maintenance program worked on the restoration of this aircraft including changing the paint scheme from bright yellow to the current scheme. The aircraft is now used as a recruiting aid and is featured in the P-38 "Glacier Girl" welcome book at Middlesboro, Kentucky Airport.

KING AIR 200

During the summer of 2007 the Aerospace Department sold our Cessna 404 and on June 7, 2007 MTSU became the proud owner of N515BA, a King Air 200. The Beechcraft King Air 200 has been in production since 1974 and is the best selling turbine business aircraft in history. This aircraft is now part of the Air Charter Lab that is available to MTSU Aerospace majors. Currently there are MTSU graduates who participated in the Air Charter Lab flying for major airlines, charter operations, fractional operations and corporations all over the world. This course represents one of the best opportunities afforded Aerospace students. The selection process is very strict and competitive, just like the students will experience when entering the job market.
