Ozarka College hosted an Aviation Day at the Thayer airport on November 11, 2016. Couch, Mammoth Spring, and Thayer high school students interested in aviation attended this event. The event began with a presentation by Nick Lenczycki, Ozarka College director of aviation, covering the many opportunities in the aviation field, the future of drone technology, and how Ozarka's aviation program is preparing students to succeed in this field. At the conclusion of the event, a drawing was held for a Discovery Flight around the Thayer/Mammoth Spring Area. The winners of this drawing were Bobbie Wheeler from Mammoth Spring High School and Chase Powell from Thayer High School. "This was a great event, " said James Spurlock, director of Ozarka College - Mammoth Spring. "I am excited about expanding the awareness in our community of the many opportunities available in the aviation industry.
