Session 1 - First will be a fun-filled session in which Jason T. Archer will take some of the mystery and myth out of the basic principles of flight. This interactive program will explore our basic understanding of the science behind the aerodynamics you have been taught. Learn how to make some of the more complicated flight principles easy to understand and gain a fresh perspective on how airplanes fly. Interesting for all pilots, their families and a must-see for those who educate and wish to inspire others to take to take to the skies!

Session 2 - Ever want to visit Australia? Maybe even fly while you’re there? Learn what is involved to prepare, navigate and communicate in the Land Down Under.
