College Students Offered Chance To Experience Aircraft
Production
College students from Illinois and Wisconsin will have a
first-hand look at EADS Socata’s aircraft design,
manufacturing and support operations during an internship organized
in cooperation with the Experimental Aircraft Association’s
"Young Eagles" program.
Named as the 2008 Young Eagles scholarship winners are Margaret
A. Viola, a student in Physics and Chinese at the University of
Chicago; and Matthew J. Woodruff, a student at the Milwaukee School
of Engineering and a private pilot.
Their selection was announced this week at Lakeland 2008 by
Nicolas Chabbert, President of EADS Socata North America, and
Elissa Lines, Vice-President Business Development of Experimental
Aircraft Association.
“We’re pleased to have selected two high-profile
aviation enthusiasts for this year’s program, and I look
forward to seeing them at our factory in France,” said
Nicolas Chabbert, President of EADS Socata North America.
At the completion of their six-week internship at EADS
Socata’s Tarbes, France, headquarters facility, Viola and
Woodruff will outline their experience at the Gathering of Eagles
Dinner, to be held this July during the Experimental Aircraft
Association’s AirVenture show at Oshkosh, Wisconsin.
The EAA Young Eagles program was launched in 1992 to provide
first-hand general aviation experience for young people. This
activity is offered free of charge, and is made possible by the
generosity of EAA members, its volunteers and corporations.
