Red-Tailed Hawks,
RTH held the September Meeting Series this weekend. Forty-two participants signed into the Friday Zoom and over sixty folks participated on Saturday, at Arlington Municipal Airport (AWO). Hats off to Mission Aviation Training Academy (MATA) for opening their hangar to the RTH Youth Program.
Friday began with John Miller, Puget Sound Soaring Association, introducing glider flying to the audience. Ishitha Arekapudi shared her experience as a glider rated private pilot and then presented a fantastic history lesson covering the accomplishments of our Future Thrust Awards namesakes: Leslie A. Morris, Leroy Roberts. Jr. and Walt W. Braithwaite. Axel Scales, private pilot, presented the PHAK lesson on Weather Theory. The Zoom closed with four students reading their Continuing the Legacy in Aviation essays.
Saturday began by covering the PHAK lesson on Weather Services. Next, the students split into groups to experience the Weather Theory activity and the MATA team. The MATA activities included an overview of their mission and operations, a torque station, a rivet station, an annealing station and an airplane preflight station.
