Up, Up, and Away!

Yesterday, the LEADERS group spent the day learning all about airplanes and careers in the airline industry. The group visited the Aviation Technology Center at Vincennes University where they saw first-hand what it takes to become an airplane mechanic. The group then toured two hangers and later visited AAR's site for fixing airplanes. Read below for a first-hand perspective written by one of the LEADERS:



"So when we got there we looked at the welding room. The electrical room we didn't get to go into because there was a special class going on. We saw all different kids of airplanes. We saw in 3 different ones. We seen a helicopter but didn't get to sit in that one. We sat on a 737 plane; we sat in the normal seats then 1rst class and...Then we say in the cock pit. We were making noises, it was really fun!! After that we ate lunch and went to a different building. We saw planes getting taken apart and put back together. It was a fun and great day there."



Another perspective:



"I had fun there and we looked at air plains. We got to look at a 737 it's big like a house. We got to see a helicopter. We saw a welding room and hangers. We got to see a plain take off it was exciting. We sat in 2 cockpits."
