On Tuesday, October 26th, the Yellow Pod took a field trip to the Auburn University Regional Airport. This helped to enhance our study of airplanes, airports, and airport jobs.
These men talked to us about the fuel truck and how they put fuel in airplanes.
A student from the Flight Education Department talked to us about this airplane. Each child was able to sit inside of it, get a close look at the cockpit, and use the yoke to practice taking off and landing.
Bill Hutto, the airport director, gave us a tour of the inside of the airport. We were able to see the crew's lounge, the board room, and have our picture made with Bob the Tiger.
At the line station, we learned about directing airplanes on the ground to park, and a little about air traffic control.
We were able to go inside of the hangar and see an Auburn University jet.
