A member of Penn College's aviation faculty is pictured in the October issue of AOPA Pilot magazine, a publication of the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association.
An article by Emma Quedzuweit, assistant editor, details a "painstaking labor of love" by volunteers at the Golden Age Air Museum in Bethel – volunteers that include Michael Damiani, an instructor at the college's Lumley Aviation Center.
Damiani serves part time as the Berks County museum's director of maintenance and as a staff pilot, maintaining and operating a fleet of vintage aircraft and engines. His photo accompanies "Biddle Bones," Quedzuweit's extensive piece about the quest to recreate a SPAD XIII belonging to Pennsylvania native Charles Biddle, a WWI veteran of the U.S. Army Air Service.
