Many seniors at our local high school are scrambling to make those last few campus visits before choosing which college they will attend in the fall. For younger students, perhaps even a few middle-schoolers, college tour season seems to have stretched into a year-round phenomenon. I imagine it’s the same across the country.
A small airplane can be an ideal tool for improving the efficiency of college visits. They make it easier to bundle several stops during a loop through, say, New England into a day or two instead of three or four. This is one of the cases in which our vast network of general aviation airports really shows its potential. Many fields are within a few miles of college campuses and others are within a short walk. A few are even on campus, especially at universities with specialized aviation programs.
