MSCC Accepts FedEx 727 Jetliner at Stuttgart Airport; Aircraft Will be Used for Airframe/Powerplant Training

Mid-South Community College acquired a signature and iconic piece of training equipment for its Aviation Maintenance Technology program on Monday when it accepted a FedEx 727 jet at the Stuttgart Municipal Airport.

FedEx pilots, with MSCC President Dr. Glen Fenter and ADTEC Liaison for Special Projects Dr. Gibson “Sunny” Morris on board for the final flight, took off from Memphis around 8:40 a.m. and landed about 20 minutes later in Prairie County, Ark.

“Obviously a plane of that caliber will be a great opportunity for our students to have access to technology that we otherwise would not have been able to provide for them,” Dr. Fenter said. “It certainly sets our Aviation Maintenance program apart from a lot of other programs in the country.”
