Oklahoma has a rich aviation history. We have a unique relationship with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) through the important work done at Oklahoma City’s Mike Monroney Aeronautical Center (MMAC), which is an essential part of a safe and efficient national air space, coordinated by the FAA. The Aeronautical Center is home to the only FAA Academy which provides the initial training for air traffic controllers with centralized, standardized, and efficient training to about 20,000 students each year. The Academy is also home to the Civil Aerospace Medical Institute that provides medical certification, research, education, and occupational health for the FAA.

Deuteronomy 16

Body
The Passover 1 Observe the month of Aviv and celebrate the Passover of the Lord your God, because in the month of Aviv he brought you out of Egypt by night. 2 Sacrifice as the Passover to the Lord your God an animal from your flock or herd at the place the Lord will choose as a dwelling for his Name. 3 Do not eat it with bread made with yeast, but for seven days eat unleavened bread, the bread of affliction, because you left Egypt in haste—so that all the days of your life you may remember the time of your departure from Egypt. 4 Let no yeast be found in your possession in all your land for seven days. Do not let any of the meat you sacrifice on the evening of the first day remain until morning.
