Dad said that the engines each<br />had a distinctive sound. He & his siblings found<br />the fight exciting. They were just kids; it did not<br />occur to them that they were witnessing a life &<br />death struggle - on their behalf.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-352377410388410195.post-3955860881861253852012-06-30T07:53:36.441-07:002012-06-30T07:53:36.441-07:00Good morning and thank you Cecilie!

After NWA took the engines off, the aircraft started to list and became too dangerous for students, so we no longer have it. I would love to have some of you visit us as guest speakers and mentors! We have some amazing students- some of them shaved their heads for the COA graduation ceremony today in honor of Ryan Humphrey!Lori Brownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-352377410388410195.post-22535408444038641672012-06-29T16:34:29.706-07:002012-06-29T16:34:29.706-07:00Go Get'em Flying Bronco's!
