Kenny Keller visits Madisonville Community College in Kentucky to check out their new Redbird helicopter simulators, including three configured for Robinson R44s. The college also runs Schweizer helicopter training and fixed-wing programs, and just got VA-certified so students can use GI Bill benefits.
Today I got my first look at the Redbird simulator. Very cool. Three of the six here are set up for the Robinson R44 helicopter configuration.
I'm at Madisonville Community College here in Kentucky. Their flight students are using hogs to supplement their in classroom ground here at the college and complement their flight training that they're doing here at the college. They have the Schweitzer helicopters. They also have a fixed wing program today.
So far all I've seen is the simulators and I have seen the helicopters put them a brand new hangar. So a lot going on at this little community college and they invited me down. We're going to be looking at maybe.

And there are a lot of good reasons to attend college to get your aviation training. So stay tuned. I'll be here a couple more days. Anything you'd like to know about while you're there on the video, type it down below and I'll be sure and ask the questions over the next couple days.
