MU flight school taking shape at Yeager on pace for start of fall semester

The construction site for Marshall University’s new Bill Noe Flight School has been a beehive of activity in recent days.

Workers taking advantage of warmer, drier weather have been putting the finishing touches to the roof of the flight school’s 10,500-square-foot classroom building, taking shape along Taxiway B at Yeager Airport’s general aviation area. Inside, others are busy wiring, plumbing and drywalling the building, installing its heating and ventilation ducts, and beginning brickwork on exterior walls. Nearby, another crew is installing exterior wall panels to the metal frame of the flight school’s 12,000-square-foot hangar.
