First Eagle Composite Squadron AE Day

Place: Morehead, Rowan Co. airport

Date: June

Total Attendance: 10 cadets, 6 SM, 30 general public

I organized and coordinated all aspects of the AE day. We had real showing s of Remote Control Airplanes, Mini. Hot Air Balloons, Model Rockets, Paper Plate Airplanes, and Real Airplanes. All of these teaching items were used to show our general public viewers many aspects of Aerospace (how planes fly, how rockets work, what a real airplane cockpits looks like, ETC). All of the activities were hands on, the public set the rockets off, and were given walkthroughs of the real airplanes, ECT This was a huge success, we gained 3 recruits and the AE day was publicized on radio and on the newspaper.
