The Nicholas N. Tamposi Aviation Center at Daniel Webster College
 The
focal point for all DWC flight operations is the Nicholas N. Tamposi
Aviation Center, located parallel to the 5500' runway of Boire Field in
Nashua, NH. Built in 1977, the Aviation Center has been the location of the
world-renowned Daniel Webster College Aviation Program since. In December of
1994, the Nicholas N. Tamposi Aviation Center was rededicated after a $1.6
million expansion project, taking the Aviation Center from 5,100 square feet
to 14,000 square feet. It now has a host of unique features such as
integrated support for the Flight Simulator and Air Traffic Control
Simulations Labs, multimedia supported class and seminar rooms, and internal
networking for computer support.
The Aviation Center
at Daniel Webster College was dedicated to Nicholas N. Tamposi, a local
Nashua aviator who greatly contributed to the aviation community in Nashua
in his lifetime. A plaque in the flight center reads:
"Dedicated to Nicholas N. Tamposi, Captain, Pan American World Airways,
1917-1975. This distinguished aviator, native of this city, soloed at this
airfield. He went on to pioneer numerous air routes around the world. He
commanded Pan American's inaugural to Bucharest, Romania, the home land of
his parents. He also was a member of the flight crew that inaugurated
commercial service to Moscow, USSR.
Dedicated on October 23, 1977 by the trustees of New
England Aeronautical Institute -- Daniel Webster College."
