Portland Community College (Cascade Campus)

Computer software upgrades were recently completed at this Center, allowing the use of state of the art flight simulation equipment. This was also necessary in order to be able to test our planned WEB-learning curriculum.

Hillsboro Center

Thanks to Kimberly Viera and the ASK parent committee, the Hillsboro Center received a makeover during June, 2006. The ASK building was repainted, new gutters installed and a new drainage system was put in. All this work was done on Saturdays and Sundays – attesting to the parents and community interest and project was complete with minimal costs.

Center Operations Pearson Air Museum Center

Expansion planning for a new Center in Vancouver, WA was completed during March, 2006. This effort was conducted in accordance with the organizations development and expansion initiative. The new Center is equipped with twelve (12) Flight Simulation stations plus allocated space for the program’s model design and construction (engineering) component. The Center held its first open house/demonstration and recruitment session July 4, 2006 with an estimated 500 guests participating. ASK is supporting a two-week Summer Camp at the museum, hosting approximately 20 youth for each of two sessions, beginning July 10, 2006. Other camp formats are being planned with expectations of hosting kids throughout the summer next year.

Aurora Airport/Van’s Aircraft

The Teen Flight program – where high school students are constructing a Vans RV-12 aircraft – takes place at Aurora State Airport just south of Wilsonville.  The program uses space in the Vans Aircraft facilities and operates on weekends.  Numerous “old time” aircraft mechanics act as the mentors to the kids building the airplane.  The program is only possible because of generous donations of time and funds by several aviation enthusiasts in the local community.
