ASU Flight Simulator Visit March 2014
 IMG_3940.JPGOn our way over to the ATP hanger, we passed this building. No connection with the flight training programs. At least not intentionally. |

 IMG_3945.JPGThis plane belonged to the University hence the tail design. Not flown very often but maintained very well by the students. |
 IMG_3946.JPGATP is a commercial aircraft training company which we also visited. |

 IMG_3948.JPGPlane undergoing maintenance at the ATP building. For engine maintenance (not performed here) about 4 bolts can be removed and engine swapped out. Note the freckled appearance of the cowling which is caused by former insects. |

 IMG_3950.JPGPerhaps the mother of all ceiling fans installed in this hanger. Despite it's impressive size, we heard the comment that 'it doesn't turn fast enough' After all this is Arizona and a cool building is desirable. |
 IMG_3951.JPGSome evaporative 'swamp cooler' equipment complements the big fan. |
