2009 AvAr Training Schedule and Course Application now posted!

AvAr will conduct its fourth annual training seminar for new field agents over the weekend of May 30/31, 2009, with a CAHS certification field exercise the following Saturday, June 6, 2009.

Upon completion of the mandatory 16 hour classroom program, attendees receive a handsome, frameable graduation certificate.  Should those graduates seek official Colorado Aviation Historical Society accreditation, they must attend either the designated certification field exercise (June 6) or a similar event, approved by the program director, within the following 12 calendar months.

Offered only once each year, the cost for this exclusive opportunity is $129.00 USD.  This package includes: Two days of platform instruction and one day of field work; A CD of all presentaions and student handout materials; Morning and afternoon refreshments during both days of platform instruction. 

Compare the value of this program with other similar offerings and I think you'll agree, this is the best 'bang-for-your-buck' when it comes to learning about the science, technology and nuances of aviation archaeology.

Follow the link to the application  then fill it it out and submit it, along with a check payable to the North American Institute of Aviation Archaeology (NAIAA), at your earliest convenience.

A limit of twelve students per class (based on USFS regulations) is our norm for graduation exercises held at mountain sites.  Please confirm your reservation, with remittance, at the earliest possible time.
