Tri-motors and Aeroscholars

Wow.

I think that’s the simple word that came out of my mouth to match the mile-wide grin and glazed look in my eyes. You see, I was just stepping out of a 1929 Ford Tri-Motor onto the soft grass field at the Pioneer Airport in Oshkosh, WI.

The Tri-Motor ride was just one of many highlights during a weekend stay at the beautiful EAA Air Academy. I joined a group of about 28 educators, pilots and aviation enthusiasts to learn about the EAA’s Aeroscholars program. This program is amazing. It provides true virtual learning for high school students via an online aviation curriculum. The course is fully college accredited which makes it an attractive option for students interested in aviation. It’s also a fun and powerful way to teach students about science.

This is an excerpt of Tri-motors and Aeroscholars.
