Trip to the Centurylink Hanger,Airport Control Tower, & Radar Control Center 11/19/2010

Today, we had the rare opportunity to go visit the Centurylink Hanger. Bob Corcoran, a homeschool parent & Centurylink pilot, gave us a guided tour of the area.

Here's our group- It was really cold in the hanger but it was worth it!

We were able to see a plane engine & learn about the different parts of the plane

We watched as the planes were moved out of the hanger and filled with fuel

Bryleigh was even able to sit in the Pilot's seat

She loved looking through the plane
We then got to go to the Control Tower at the Monroe Regional Airport

Bryleigh loved it. We were able to look out across Monroe. We got to see a plane take off and land while we were there.

Afterwards, we got to go to the Radar Control Room.

We really had a great time and can't wait to go back again!
