License to Fly All Over

When he's not running Dartmouth's award-winning fMRI Data Center, Jack Van Horn flies an airplane. He set a national aviation record on June 13 by zigzagging around the state, landing at all 19 hard-surface, public airfields in New Hampshire in just under five hours. "It was the perfect day to make this landmark flight," said Van Horn, Research Assistant Professor of Psychological and Brain Sciences. "We had perfect weather." Van Horn has been a pilot since 1997, and he has been conducting research at Dartmouth since 2000. His  flight was sponsored by the Lebanon, N.H.-based Signal Aviation flight school, which provided the airplane and the observer pilot, Chris Santy, who confirmed that Van Horn landed at all 19 airfields.
