Flying Dogs

Abigail's class took a field trip to the Lowell Flight Center, Snug and I got to go too!  The kids had studied and prepared ahead of time.  They learned the basics about planes and flight.  At the flight center they did several stations stations.  The runway station was experiments that had to do with different forces and how they apply to flight.  There was an area where they got to use night vision goggles.  They got to use a computer flight simulator. They also got to operate the airplane simulator and a helicopter simulator.  Snug tried out the airplane.  They also practiced with a partner in the basic simulators on the floor.  It was really fun.
