ASHWAUBENON, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) – Some Green Bay middle school students learned about different careers in the field of aviation.
Thirty girls from Franklin and Washington middle schools were selected for the event at Green Bay Austin Straubel International Airport Tuesday.
One activity the girls took part in was being inside a flight simulator.
While it may seem like an over-sized video game, Lorendy Renovato tells FOX 11 it was a lot harder than it looked because it required a lot of concentration.
“My favorite part was when we went upstairs and I had to fly this like airplane thing and then I crashed the first time. “But the second time, it was kind of easy.”
The girls were able to tour the hangars and see inside some different airplanes.
Some of the aviation career areas they learned about include safety, customer service, maintenance and flight instruction.
