Last Friday was Flight Awareness day at Wellsville Elementary School. Matt Shoemaker, myself and Cody Dobson who is principal at the school, brought our gliders and participated in the event. Over 300 students filed through the different stations where there were lectures, static displays, RC aircraft and videos of tandem flights made by Matt. Cody spent months preparing the special event for his students, and worked hard as the spokesperson for our display.
Most of the students in the groups were excited to see the hang gliders and hear Cody's ten minute talk.
Matt commented about a similar event that took place during his school days that eventually led him to become interested in Hang gliding.
The kids were extremely polite and very interested. Seems like a great idea - an effective way to promote our great sport!
