Do we get to keep anything we find in a false compartment in the luggage area , or sewn into the undersides of the leather seats?

What are Boilermakers smuggling?

I’ll throw in 10 bucks. Anyone else?

(maybe we can trade in our folding points for plane bucks)

What are you talking about? There wasn’t a hidden compartment, or 25 large worth of cocaine in said  non-existent compartment....

Duller backstory than I expected. Government Surplus implies somehow the government came into possession of it. How far gone are we from a booster slapping a decal on the tail in order to claim a tax writeoff for ill gotten gains reflective of this body of higher yearning?

Excellence in execution and preparation is what Purdue means to me.  Graphic Arts department must have had cutbacks that year.

Purdue University is a government institution

Purdue University is a land-grant, public university established in 1867.

I must be missing something. Not important enough to Purdue any further.  :P

Yeah, go figure.

Purdue is actually a State University of Indiana.

OTOH, University of Pennsylvania is private.

Purdue has, probably, the best aerospace engineering programs in the country.

And, has astronauts in the alumni base.  Famous astronauts.

That's a bold claim when Georgia Tech exosts

USC and UW can also make a claim... I had a minor in Aero Eng in that part of the country , before a big recession came and disabused me of the notion that industry held promise. So, I switched to EE.

Remind me again? How many Ramblin’ Wreck astronauts are there?

EXHIBIT A:

Full Disclosure;  BIL teaches at Purdue.  And flies.  And promotes the program strongly.

Nice plane. A friend of mine owns a Phenom 100 ; bought it after retiring but he’s owned several airplanes in the 20 years I’ve known him. Not a bad way to travel.
