Colgan Base?
To any of the Colganites out there...
Is Manassas a pilot base? I saw online that it is a maint base so I'm a little unsure as to whether or not it's a pilot base and if a pilot can live there.
Thanks to all.

Also one other point. The Colgan's got burnt once when the Senator sold the original airline to Presidential...only to see Presidential go belly up two years later. The Colgan's are fiercely independent and hard-nosed and I don't see them selling the airline to anyone...just yet. The five kids have the airline now and they are a pretty determined group. Anything can happen of course...

Sorry, but is it a base for the the Beech as well? Just realized I didn't specify that earlier. Heard that is all they are hiring for in the next few months.

I'll be in Manassas in a few weeks. How would I go about getting a tour of Colgan? I don't have anywhere near the hours / ratings to apply but want to check out a airline operation...
This is an innocent question from someone interested in learning...Don't worry about me being a terrorist...I'm in the USAF and will be in town to meet friends working at the Pentagon and White House...
Thanks,
LA
