Girl Scout Aviation Day


Today, members of Reagan's Girl Scout Troop attended a special event at the local airport.  They were celebrating women in aviation and letting the girls know what types of careers were available in the aviation field.
they got to sit in a 2-seater Cessna plane 
 making sure the propellers are smooth before take off
 learning about the Civil Air Patrol
 trying out the controls (or lack there of) on a glider plane
 they met a female commercial air line pilot
 they pretended to be airplanes and were shown how the air traffic controller keeps them safe and in line
 playing with tools like Rosie the Riveter!
 After the fun at the airport, we met Cooper and Greg at the lawnmower store then we all went to lunch with Gigi & Bubba at Sonic
