The RTH Youth Program explored Aircraft Construction and Airfield Operations in the November meeting series. The Friday Zoom included a pilot talk by Orion Collins, the Aircraft Construction lesson by Jesse Hayes and CTLA essay and PHAK show and tell opportunities by student members making progress in their workbooks.
On Saturday, we were hosted by Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA). The history lesson presented Katherine Johnson, and the B-17 model airplane construction exercise exposed students to the manufacturing processes. The mentoring flights competed to see who could build quality products the fastest. Later the students learned about SEA airport operations. They toured the field, visited Fire & Rescue and learned about wildlife management.
