Area students take flight after completing Fly to Learn Program
In July, 10 students from East Middle, South Middle and West Middle schools, completed the Fly to Learn software, which is a 10-lesson curriculum using virtual airplanes to simulate flight. As graduates of the aviation program, these students were then able to participate in the glider flights arranged by the Eagleville Soaring Club. They had a chance to fly in a two-seat glider under the direct supervision of an instructor pilot. They are taken by a tow plane up to 2,000 feet above the ground and released for a 15-20 minute flight in the beautiful sky over Eagleville, Tennessee. (Courtesy photo)
