I am a ’97 graduate of EMU Harrisonburg campus who was in your shoes along with another EMU ’97 graduate. Both of us were aspiring to be airline pilots and we’re flight instructing while we were also busy taking courses at EMU. I would have loved an aviation program at EMU and am so very glad they have one now. I live nearby the Lancaster County area now and am currently an A330 FO for American Airlines flying out of Philadelphia. The other ’97 alumni is a pilot for Southwest. Anyway, keep pushing towards your dreams and goals…..stay focused… looks like you have a good flight plan filed. God Bless! Oh yeah and keep the blue side up ;)

A note from EMC history. Maybe the first person to solo in an EMC-related activity occurred in the 1960s when the EMC Flying Club owned a J-3 Piper Cub and a number of students obtained their private pilot licenses.
