Introduction
The Aviation A.A.A.S degree offers tracks in Air Traffic Control and Professional Pilot-Flight.
Aviation as Mission
Each year the Hesston College Aviation Program plans an event to bring alumni and students together to better understand God’s call on our lives and how that call translates to our careers in aviation. Several of our graduates return to our hangar at the Newton City-County Airport to share about their professional and spiritual journeys and how they live their faith through their work. In recent years speakers have included Roger Yoder, a captain with American Airlines; Kurt Neuenschwander, chief pilot for AirServ International; and John Reimer, a demonstration pilot for Cessna.
