Student-built plane takes to the sky
OMAHA, NE (WOWT) For more than 3 years, a group of students from the Omaha area has been building a plane from scratch. Saturday afternoon, it took its inaugural flight from Millard Airport.
Some of the students who worked on the plane were there to watch it fly, including twin brothers Scott and Tyler Swanson. They helped with the Aviation Nation project for 3.5 years handling the rivets on the wings, the interior, and the electrical work.
“We were working off a giant construction set,” said Scott Swanson, who is now studying at UNO. “Mentors would help us but basically they’re guiding us in what the instructions read and we’d go and do it ourselves.”
