NORMAN, Okla. (KFOR) — Students interested in aviation will soon have access to a brand new state of the art facility in Norman and state leaders are calling it the future of aviation in Oklahoma for generations now and those to come. "There's going to be a lot of really interesting things going on, like flight simulators, space to build a new airplane, air traffic control, stuff like that," said Will Hyde, a Senior at Norman High School.

The Superintendent of Norman Public Schools said they'll be able to teach 700 students once everything is up and running. "There are other aviation academies out there, but there are no aviation academies like this one. I mentioned students having access to the arts or sports and aviation. That happens nowhere. The ability to build to airplanes, tango flight airplanes under the same roof. That does not happen anywhere in the united states at this point in time," said Dr. Nicholas Migliorino, the Superintendent of Norman Public Schools. Current students are eager for their future and what opportunities will stem from the program and the new facility.

"I've found like some of my best friendships and some of my best connections by being a female in aviation because you become so close because there's so like— there's so little of you as compared to the boys," said Addison Busch, a Junior at Norman North High School.
