MGA Foundation extends immense gratitude to Mr. Marshal Mize of Chattanooga, who recently donated his 1974 Cessna 414 to the MGA School of Aviation. A former Air Force pilot, Mr. Mize grew up in Tennille, Georgia, a little over an hour's drive from our Eastman campus. After leaving the military Mr. Mize relocated to Chattanooga to pursue his business and raise his family. Mr. Mize cherished his Cessna for 25 years, flying both family and business associates in it. When the time came for him to relinquish flying, he benevolently chose to gift his beloved aircraft to advance the field of aviation. That MGA's aviation campus is close to his childhood home provides greater meaning to him
