The massive E-8A airborne ground surveillance aircraft will be added to Sowela Technical Community College’s growing fleet for its popular Aviation Maintenance Technology program. It is the only program in Louisiana to offer students a military-modified large-body turbofan aircraft for hands-on instruction. The Boeing 707 will be fully integrated into each area of the FAA-certified curriculum, including Airframe and Powerplants.
