Next year, Satsuma City Schools will become the third school system in Mobile and Baldwin counties to implement the Tango Flight program, where students get to build their own airplane.
Students work with volunteer mentors on building an airplane as part of the Tango Flight program. Starting next year, Satsuma City Schools will be the third school system in lower Alabama to implement the Tango Flight program. Starting next school year, Satsuma City Schools in Mobile County will begin Tango Flight, a two-year program where students learn how to—and actually build—a two-seater airplane.
Satsuma is the third school system in coastal Alabama to adopt the program. Tango Flight—a national nonprofit based in Texas—also works with B.C. Rain High School in the Mobile County Public School System and Gulf Shores High School, part of Gulf Shores City Schools. The three schools are the only ones in Alabama to participate in the program, which is capped at around 40 school districts nationwide.
“Tango Flight has a test pilot,” Guinn said, “and once it’s clear to their engineers and quality assurance, he will come down and take possession of the plane, and then he will test fly it. And when they give it the okay there, then the plane is good to be on the market.”
