  1. R-MA is a co-ed college-prep school with an Air Force Junior ROTC program. "If you are interested in flying, Randolph-Macon Academy has its own in-house flight school. We own two Cessna 172 planes and the flight instructors are members of our faculty. You will have the opportunity to participate in ground school, learn to fly, and possibly solo before you complete your year at R-MA."

  2. Well if that was a high school ROTC Air Force wannabe future fighter jock student pilot, he or she just got moved down the list in pilot candidate school after ROTC college graduation.
