Digital Academy students visit the National Air Force Museum

On Tuesday, February 28, TRECA Digital Academy students participated in a tour of the National Air Force Museum! We started our visit by watching the movie Aircraft Carriers 3D. This was a 30 minute film that showed the demanding and dangerous skills required to operate an aircraft carrier. We then completed a 'highlights' scavenger hunt that took us from the first flight to modern jet aircraft. We toured several different galleries and learned various things about military aircraft, technological advancements and several facts about key people who lost their lives in various battles. Students learned about the different types of aircraft that were used in Korea and Southeast Asia and what the different types were used for. We also had the opportunity to visit the new section of the museum where we learned about the presidential aircraft and toured a few of the past presidential planes!
