Epic in Lakeland

Epic staff had a great time last month in Lakeland, Florida at the Sun ‘n Fun Holiday Fly-In Festival. We met up with alumni, made new friends, and shared Epic’s mission.

Airport News

The City of New Smyrna Beach recently completed a $1.4 million project that features a 15-unit T-hangar on the south end of the airport. Two units can house aircraft with a 47′ wingspan, and the others are for aircraft with wingspan no wider than 40′.

Aircraft Mechanic Program

If you think school should be more hands-on, you’ll love Epic’s Aircraft Mechanic Program! Hitting the books means grabbing your toolbox and getting to work.

Our next class begins on February 7th. Will you be there?

We love hearing from Epic graduates as they excel in their careers! We recently heard from Captain Mayur Panday who flies the A320 for Air ArabiaFirst Officer Jiyoung Park who flies the A320/321 for VietJet AirFirst Officer Ahmed Refay who flies the A320 in Dubai; and Captain Shannon Truax who flies an ERJ 175 for SkyWest Airlines.
