That's how it was last Summer. About 15-20 flight students (most CODO's), and LG said it was the most they have had during the Summer that he could remember. Most of those students were either 248 or 253 students who were also doing the sim classes.
rotorhead1026: Since flying is done as a "class" and Purdue uses 2 semester class schedules, there is no time to take off during the winter. Obviously, there are lots of days in December and January we can't fly. However, I still prefer January over August for flight training in Indiana!
One last thing: I'm putting together my application for grad school and have been talking to a bunch of Professors about the specifics. If anyone has questions about coming here for a masters, shoot me a PM.
