The sky is the limit

Woodlawn Beach Middle School students listen as Navy flight school students talk about the helicopter components during an official visit to the school grounds. The eighth graders will be going to the Naval Aviation Museum in mid-April for the Flight Adventure Deck Field Trip, a middle school math and science program. In preparation of this, they were visited by the NAS Whiting Field Helicopter Squadron 18 on April 10. Students were able to view the aircraft up close after it flew in and performed a series of mid-air maneuvers that included a reconnaissance run, a 360 degree clearing turn, sliding left and right and pedal turns.
