This postal card ended up in my card and cover binder I guess because it was hardly worth trying to sell. The PC17 postal card first came out in 1914 but from the website for what is now Spartan College of Aeronautics and Technology the school did not open till 1928. Here is a short history from the site:
1928
Spartan College of Aeronautics and Technology was founded in Tulsa, Oklahoma as Spartan School of Aeronautics by W.G. Skelly, President of Skelly Oil Company, on September 27, 1928. He established Spartan Aircraft Company and formed the corporation which built Tulsa Municipal Airport (now called Tulsa International Airport). Mr. Skelly was convinced that air transportation would come of age and bring with it a need for skilled aircraft technicians and pilots; therefore, Spartan School of Aeronautics offered both mechanic and flight courses. www.spartan.edu/
