The above photo shows the entrance to the Thunderbird School of Global Management, a top ranked international business school who's MBA graduates work in positions all over the world. It's located in Glendale Arizona and was founded in 1946 by U.S. Army Air Force Lieutenant General Barton Kyle Yount.
The PT-17 was a bi-plane like the one on this memorial to the pilots. You can see a picture of one here.
I have a new photo on Sharon's Sojourns. This time I visit a city in Italy that has few tourists.

Very interesting place, great looking memorial too.
I love that they kept the name Sharon..The ochre coloured buildings in Arizona are so photogenically suited to the brilliant blue skies.
The architecture looks very cool.
I guess this isn't the cheap, Bowery wine factory. You had my hopes up. hehehehehehe!
A cool bit of history. Is this near Luke AFB? And what an entrance! It's interesting to see how aviation technology changed in those few years.
I did not know that history. Thank you.
In the early '60's while visiting Phoenix Jim and I met some Luftwaffe pilots that were being trained there. I wonder if this is the airbase where they were located?
Interesting place and history.
Orange and blue make a good combination.
Love the shots and the interesting history, Sharon!
That is interesting!
I have heard of Thunderbird, of course, and I wondered where it got the name. Interesting.
There used to be the best pizza place on the corner of 59th Ave and Greenway.
What strikes me, as a Londoner, about this photo is that incredible SKY! But I'm sure it's pretty typical for Arizona.
