Just got word this morning that I will be an intern at WACO Classic Aircraft!

http://www.wacoclassic.com/

I had a tour of the facilities with the owner a couple of months ago, dang those YMFs are BEASTS!

Congrats, have fun with it Wink

And don't forget, internships are meant for learning, so learn as much as you can.  I learned a huge deal of new things at my internship, even though it wasn't at an aircraft company.

Thank you folks! I am obviously very excited about this, I believe Waco Classic is the only aircraft manufacturer in Michigan. So as you said Jake, this is a tremendous learning opportunity for me. This is my first engineering internship too, looking forward to getting some real-world knowledge on engineering.
