The company’s primary goal soon became the training of post-war military pilots returning from active duty to work in the early civilian airlines. Plotters, regulations and training manuals were the first products. In 1960, the company broadened its production and development efforts with additional pilot supplies and books added to the ground school training line.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 1969, the company became Northwest School of Aviation under a new owner, Roy Beech. The company’s goal was the franchise of the popular Merrell Ground School under the name “Aviation Seminars of America,” or ASA.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn November, 1976, Joe Cucchiari purchased the company. “Aviation Supplies and Academics” replaced Aviation Seminars of America as the name to go with the ASA acronym, and the company again broadened its product line to add cassette courses and new books and training materials. The company was incorporated in 1977. In 1981, Joe Finelli joined the organization, bringing 20 years of experience in printing and publishing with him. Publishing and manufacturing has since become the principal company mission.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe title=\"Embedded Video Player\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Emb_a2DvFtE\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2020-03-11T14:53:09-04:00","sort_order":"best-selling","template_suffix":"","disjunctive":true,"rules":[{"column":"vendor","relation":"equals","condition":"Aviation Supplies \u0026 Academics Inc."},{"column":"vendor","relation":"equals","condition":"Aviation Supplies \u0026 Academics In"}],"published_scope":"web","image":{"created_at":"2020-07-20T11:57:22-04:00","alt":"Shop for Aviation Supplies \u0026 Academics Inc. products.","width":500,"height":500,"src":"\/\/www.pilotshq.com\/cdn\/shop\/collections\/ASA_Logo.jpg?v=1672277315"}},{"id":189145677960,"handle":"coupon-eligible","title":"Coupon Eligible","updated_at":"2025-09-23T15:39:58-04:00","body_html":"","published_at":"2020-12-14T21:11:58-05:00","sort_order":"best-selling","template_suffix":"","disjunctive":false,"rules":[{"column":"vendor","relation":"not_equals","condition":"Lightspeed Aviation"}],"published_scope":"global"},{"id":172783796360,"handle":"flight-computers-plotters","title":"Flight Computers \u0026 Plotters","updated_at":"2025-09-22T21:07:26-04:00","body_html":"","published_at":"2020-03-04T16:24:11-05:00","sort_order":"best-selling","template_suffix":null,"disjunctive":true,"rules":[{"column":"type","relation":"equals","condition":"Flight Computers \u0026 Plotters"}],"published_scope":"web"},{"id":285856989320,"handle":"new-additions","title":"New Additions","updated_at":"2025-09-23T15:54:11-04:00","body_html":"","published_at":"2024-05-13T22:18:55-04:00","sort_order":"created-desc","template_suffix":"","disjunctive":false,"rules":[{"column":"variant_price","relation":"greater_than","condition":"1"},{"column":"type","relation":"not_equals","condition":"Surplus Manuals"},{"column":"variant_inventory","relation":"greater_than","condition":"0"}],"published_scope":"global"}]

Low build quality, overpriced, boosters do not "connect"
The shuttle just kinda hangs from it FRAGILE front wheel onto the boosters,which are one piece unlike the real thing. Was hoping each booster individually snapped together and you could play out the full stages, but no.
Also the bay doors are loooooose and rattle around and open all the time, but then if the satellites swivel you cannot shut the bay doors. I expected them to have some way to stay closed when playing with this thing but no.
I ordered in a weekend and needed my purchase by a certain date. I was told when I ordered it would arrive on a specific day. And it sure did. Thanks so much for the great service.
Excellent product - be sure to shake-mix prior to use, the solids fall out of solution pretty quickly. So far we haven't had to use any reducer. This product is exactly what a well known structures rebuilder located in Indiana uses.
