November 22 – Tracy Elementary – Easton, PA — Members Rosanne and Amy fielded questions and demonstrated what it means to be a pilot to over 300 fourth and fifth graders from Tracy and Shawnee Elementary schools. A big hit was showing the kids the iPad Rosanne uses at work. She showed them how we (pilots) know where we’re going (route maps), as well as the various weather maps. They definitely found a few new aviators waiting to start their flying lessons!
November 18 — Keystone Member Nancy M. attended the lecture of Dr. Cecilia Aragon at Lafayette College. Nancy was so inspired by Dr. Aragon’s journey, how she became an air show pilot, author, professor, and first Latino pilot on the US Aerobatic team. Many of the things Dr. Aragon spoke of resonated with Nancy’s own flight journey, and how perseverance pays off.

They had tow airplanes dropping candy from the sky including the pink Aeronca Champ piloted by Caroline.
