The first students of the Aviation Maintenance Technology A.A.S. program at Marshall University are joined by James Smith, program director, and Nancy Ritter, director of the Bill Noe Flight School.

B ill Noe says Marshall University is perfectly poised to bolster the aviation industry for decades to come. “If you’ve ever watched somebody surf, you see them sitting out there waiting for the perfect wave to ride,” said Noe, the university’s new chief aviation officer and the man for whom its flight school in Charleston is named. “At Marshall we see this perfect wave starting to come our way, and we’re starting to paddle hard to catch it because we know we will be able to ride it for the next 30-plus years.”
