Warbirds of Glory Museum, the museum built around the Sandbar Mitchell B25 field find that is getting restored, has a student apprenticeship program.


This warbird restoration program attracted a group of high school students who were eager to learn about aviation and aircraft restoration. Over the years, more than 50 students have worked on the B-25, gaining hands-on experience in reading original North American drawings, performing CAD work, operating CNC machines, and learning aviation maintenance techniques.

One particularly notable student, Logan Kucharek, who had joined the project at age 13, eventually became a lead engineer at a jet engine company. Another student, Katelyn, discovered her passion for aviation through the program and is now working as an aircraft mechanic.
