Aerospace Education
MNWG is well known across the nation for its Aerospace Education program, and more specifically for its Flight Academy in Mankato, Minnesota. Every year, cadets from Minnesota, and sometimes places as far away as California come to the Academy. The Academy offers powered instruction in Cessna 172s, Cessna 182s and non-powered Blanik gliders. The goal of the Academy is to provide cadets with enough training to potentially complete their first solo flight while at the Academy.

Famous quotes containing the word education:
“Those things for which the most money is demanded are never the things which the student most wants. Tuition, for instance, is an important item in the term bill, while for the far more valuable education which he gets by associating with the most cultivated of his contemporaries no charge is made.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
