Tackle it Tuesday *Flight Center

On Monday we had a wonderful field trip to a flight center

I had the thrill of being one of five volunteers that made the trip able to happen

We had four groups we were group four. We were on a rotation. My group got to have lunch first.

My young friend just sat alone.

The other boy in my group had left ill and the others were all girls.

He shared with me that he was embarrassed when I gave him the picture I painted in class last year, it gave me a change to apologize for his discomfort.

 We received our training as the children were being lectured on flight

The teacher of the class is in the gray to the left.

She made this happen.

 

 This is the class as they were in training

The cock pit seats were so cool

They used them first

 

 The information and science coverage was awesome!

 

 I had another child but as the lecture was occurring he did not look right to me.

I asked the child to come to me.

The teacher took him to the nurse just in time for him to repeatedly vomit!

Sweet boy missed out. I gathered him all of the experiment supplies and his flight Manuel and sent it on quickly with the teacher to the nurse.

 

 Dove did real well

 

This is so cool!

This is all on a volunteer basis.

 

This is a flight simulator program they used..

I got to take a turn and landed!

 

 

 

 As the kids who were training for the plane simulator part of my group was doing a study in night vision.

Using a grid system they had to identify the items on the field through the night goggles.

While the other part of my group shifted over and these guys went to the plane

 

 

 

 This fellow was a retired flight instructor as was one of the guardians who came with us a grandpa who was a retired flight instructor.

 

 

 We had a odd man out so I got to give it a try.

This is the same boy who I painted the dream catcher for last year.

This child keeps getting placed under my charge year after year.

I pray for him.

 

 

 

 

 

 This little girl is named Diamond. She is a real sweet heart.

The project only works if a class has enough adults to assist

So today I got to go do a little shopping.

That is where I have been folks .

Have a wonderful pause to give thanks for all the many many kindnesses God affords you day to day.

Wow, Dash does not HAVE to use hearing aides.

My boy has healed a hearing loss.

God has always given me so many reasons to give thanks.
