Build A Plane has joined with the Thomas Wathen Center in Riverside, Calif., to create a permanent facility that allows kids to build real airplanes. The Katrina Bradshaw Memorial BuildAPlane Center is outfitted as a complete A&P facility providing tooling and materials to build and restore aircraft. The Center is named after the late Katrina Bradshaw, formerly the executive director of BuildAPlane. Sixteen kids from around Los Angeles have already signed up to restore an early Stinson 108. Were hoping to get the first airplane done by the end of August, said Gregg Landolt, Wathen Center Director of Programs and Education.
