The three letter identifier for our training center...which is not actually called a training center but called the “Flight Academy”.

GSW was Greater Southwest airport. The flight academy sits near the location of that old airport and the three letter identifier stuck for the Flight Academy.

Was awarded DFW in the recent bid, and planning on moving to the DFW area this summer time frame after school is out for the kids. Seeing if anyone has good info on places to live, schools etc.
