    Just saw this announcement in the current AOPA newsletter. It's hard to believe that any one training program could have 120 aircraft. This must be a great place to take flying lessons while attending college. Anyone here familiar with this program?

    "UNIVERSITY OF NORTH DAKOTA ORDERS CESSNA CITATION MUSTANG
    The University of North Dakota (UND) has ordered a Cessna Citation Mustang to add to its fleet of more than 120 aircraft. The entry-level Citation jet will be used for executive travel and flight training, according to Cessna Aircraft Company, which announced the order on September 24. "We expect the Mustang to be a great recruitment tool for the school and an amazing opportunity for students as they transition from pistons and turboprops to flying jets," said Bruce A. Smith, dean of the university's John D. Odegard School of Aerospace Sciences. Cessna says UND is the first flight school in the country to order a Mustang."

    Does Riddle have more than 120 aircraft? It's kind of hard to imagine a program having that many ac. How many students do they have at any one time?

    our campus the Prescott one has 30 Ac and Daytona Beach has about 60. but yes that is a huge amount to have for flight training. our flight program has only about 450 students in it.
