Al Eastman and I had a chance to talk about "Aviation" to Brookhouse Grade 2 classes. Some 39 children around the age of 6. It wasn't going to be easy to keep them occupied for an hour and a half.
So I started off explaining the basic's of "What Makes Airplanes Fly"

Hey Everyone Look at our new Airplanes. Now off to the Gym to see how they fly. Al and I got so involved in the competition, we forgot to take any Pictures of this event. Needless to say it went off well.
After we gave away the trophy's for first, second and third farthest flights, it was time for us to give the kids a "Real Airshow"

I saved this picture for the last because it shows all the fun these children had for this event.
Here Al was racing his chopper towards the gym ceiling, and they went crazy with excitement............

I hope we made a positive impression with these children in the second grade at Brookhouse School about aviation, flying and the sport of Radio control airplanes and helicopters. 8-)

I know "Two Older Children" did enjoy putting on this event for them ;) !
