AFA National Report

摘要

When New Hampshire's Brig. Gen. Harrison R. Thyng Chapter helped introduce students to aviation careers, the Air Force Association's fingerprints were all over the project. The chapter rounded up an AFA Chapter Matching Grant-$400 from the chapter and $400 from AFA-and used the funds for orientation flights for the 51 students who attended this summer's fifth annual Aviation Career Education (ACE) Academies at the Laconia Arpt., N.H. The chapter also funded tuition for a student participating in the week of activities that included model building, trips to aviation industry sites, and flight simulator time. Daniel Caron, AFA's National Aerospace Teacher of the Year in 2004-and an active chapter member ever since-directs ACE, co-sponsored by the FAA and a local aviation and aerospace education center. Two otherformerAFA Teachers of the Year for the state instructed at this year's academy: Robert Rotier (2012) and Paul Gelinas (2014).
