Aviation Merit Badge

Field Trip-
    Recently A group of four boys Mike, Jason, Mat, and Morgan. Went with their parents MR. L, Mr. V, and Mrs. S on a field trip to Groton New London Airport. (GON) There we got a tour of the tower, a tour of the airport, got to see the NAVY training dunk tank, Do a preflight on a airplane, and went in to a small airplane for a ride and even got to fly it. All of this was prepared by Science Teacher and Pilot, Mr. Burke. We all had a great time and would do it again any day.

The Files we have below are mostly videos. They have a tour of the tower, takeoff and landings, and even takeoff and landing from inside the airplane.

        Thank You Again Mr. Burke For helping us with this merit badge.
