A flight of three Marine CH53 Super Stallion helicopters gave the crowd a fly-by while in transit home. When they transitioned into the area someone called them on the radio and requested a fly-by for the Young Eagles. They gratefully obliged by turning in to down wind and flew the pattern just like one of the Pipers. The kids really thought it was cool. The timing was great as all the planes were on the ground and a ground school class was just letting out.

Two of the Girl Scouts flown Saturday. The eager bunch of young ladies all flew three times each with different pilots and aircraft.
