Tuesday found us presenting at another event, our fourth in two weeks! We were excited to be invited by Squadron Commander Elizabeth Barkmann of the Illinois Wing - Civil Air Patrol at Lake in the Hills 3CK Airport to present to her cadet group on lighter than air flight operations. We covered standard inflation and deflation procedures with cadets joining hands-on at various steps in the process, as well as running a short night glow with the opportunity to get hands on running the burner inside the basket. After packing up the system we returned to the office for a very engaging Q&A session.
Thanks to Elizabeth for having us and to the cadets of the Lake in the Hills Composite Squadron for offering us such a warm welcome!
