A group of energetic students from Savannah de Rham’s Pre-K Class at Fisher Elementary School in Arlington, Vermont, recently visited the William H. Morse State Airport in Bennington, Vermont. The students received a tour of the airport and a number of aircraft, including a Cessna 182 used by the Civil Air Patrol for search and rescue operations.
After a question and answer session with pilot Tim Allen, the students built and flew toy planes supplied by Airport Manager Rob Luther. “We have future aviators here,” airport officials noted.
The EAA’s Young Eagle program is a natural follow-on to these kids. Get them in the air, let them feel the stick / wheel and look out the window and they WILL be hooked.
