The RTH May 9-10 Meeting Series was a successful kick-off of our fly-in season! The Friday Zoom was blessed with many students presenting their CTLA essays. We were riddled with glimpses of aviation history and insight into the motivations and aspirations of our student members. Saturday with the Washington State Patrol (WSP) was amazing! Our hosts opened their hangar doors, educated us on their mission, and made us feel at home. I saw many smiles, interaction, engagement, and learning throughout the day. The weather cooperated, and our pilots and ground crew operated safely and efficiently at Olympia Regional Airport, WA. The PHAK academics covered Aircraft Performance and Weight and Balance as planned. The history lesson covered Willa B. Brown.
