On March 8th our Aviation Club got to take a flight with EAA Chapter 165. The Young Eagles Flight Program allowed students Jonah Freshley, Treydon Brooks, and Cambria Reedy-Donnell to experience their first flights with members of the Bulldogs Flight Formation Team as they all flew at the same time. Even though our students were not able to take off or land the planes due to a lack of experience, they got to take control while in the air as they flew around pinnacle mountain and from North Little Rock to Conway.
