HBCU to offer helo flight training

Delaware State University unveiled a partnership with U.S. Army Cadet Command to bring helicopter flight training its aviation program this fall. It's a "win-win for the Army," Lt. Col. Michael Hales, director of DSU Aviation and retired Army veteran. The expansion boosts the professional pilot discipline offered at DSU to Army ROTC students and as an option for all undergraduate aviation majors. The Army gets a commissioned officer with their private, instrument, commercial and flight instructor's rating in helicopters, according to Hale. Delaware State offers an aviation management degree. Delaware State will be the only aviation program among Historically Black Colleges and 0Universities to offer helicopter flight training, Hale said.
