Models of C-130, PC-3 Orion, Mirage 3, F-86 Saber, F-104 Star Fighter and T-37 Trainer were center of attention at the unique exhibition held at the Aviation Institute of Management Karachi.
Along with the exhibition, a three-month short course was also introduced to create awareness on basic aviation.
International Plastic Modellers' Society (IPMS) Pakistan President Syed Musrrat said that Aviation Institute of Management Karachi was striving for professional manpower for the aviation industry in the country from secondary school and O level to higher education level. The aim of the exhibition is not only to bring future architects (youth) closer to aviation but also to improve the economic conditions of the country.
Aviation Institute of Management CEO Wali Mughni while talking to The Express Tribune said that the participants of the course are also provided fun through virtual flying, paragliding and flying simulators.
The students said that they gained knowledge about different aircraft by seeing their models in the exhibition. If we become a pilot in the future, we will already know which aircraft is in front of us. The training also creates passion.
