- Drapela Flying School (Grand Junction, Colorado)
- A flying school begun by Eddie Drapela in the 1930's. Drapela came to Grand Junction with a Curtiss-Robin plane in 1936 and was convinced to stay by Tom Clark. Drapela formed a flying school and taught Clark and others how to fly. He sold his school to Jim Rigg Jr. in 1947. Rigg operated the flying school until 1952, when he went to medical school. He liquidated the business in 1954.
