Festival of the Child

[kbob]

On May 6th the club had a booth at the Yukon Festival of the Child. For those who don't know, this is a day long event held by the city of Yukon to give kids a chance to come to the park and participate in multiple games, activities and programs. We set up a static display of aircraft and ran 2 real flight simulators all day. It was a big hit with the kids. We estimate over 80 kids (and a few parents) flew the simulators and asked questions. A big thank you to Phillip Owens and Mike Hankins for helping to run the booth. Here are a few pictures from the day.

A couple of the kids flying. The boy on the left was good. He even managed to fly and land the 747 on my machine.

A couple of more kids flying. The one on the left is very interested in aviation.

Here is what our booth and display looked like.
